The Steppe eagle we are tracking (6487) is now near Tabuk, Saudi Arabia. It has been making steady progress along its migration path. As we fitted this bird with a transmitter only in March, we don't know where it actually spent its winter last year. Will it go into Egypt (then maybe go south into Africa) or will it stay east of the Red Sea?

The Greater spotted eagle we are tracking (6488) is still in a wetland area in Kazakhstan. There must be plenty of food because it has been there for almost a month, and typically only moves a few hundred meters every day. See map below.
