At the nest of Bonelli’s Eagle

Overview

Bonelli’s Eagle is the only eagle which nests, albeit in small numbers, in the mountainous regions of Cyprus. A symbol of great power and an imposing presence, it is the absolute master of Cyprus’ skies. Bonelli’s Eagle is one of the rarest but most significant birds of the Cyprus avifauna; unfamiliar to many, it lives and reproduces far from human eyes in remote and secluded regions. It is for this reason that Bonelli’s Eagle requires protection by the state, being a species which is in real danger of disappearing from the beautiful island of Cyprus. In this documentary we follow several stages of the life of an eagle in the boundless Cyprus forests.
