Short-toed eagle (Circaetus gallicus)
Hi all, this one is from yesterday in Doñana National Park. A not very productive day because the wetlands are dry in this part of the year and the temperature is really, really high. This eagle is named in spanish "Águila culebrera" or "Snake-eater eagle" because most part of its prey are big snakes.
