On March 28, 2013 we found the satellite transmitter of the Imperial Eagle Saci who has been missing since August 24, 2012. The tracking device stopped to transmit signal in Northern Romania and until few days ago we had no information about the fate of the bird.
On March 22, surprisingly the transmitter emitted a signal from the region of Durankulak, the village of Granichar, close to the Bulgarian-Romanian border. Our colleague from the BSPB Daniel Mitev, a conservation officer of the project LIFE+ "Safe ground for the Red-Breast Goose" visited the place of the last signal and found the device, but no sign of the bird. Two straps of the satellite transmitter were ragged. In May last year, colleagues from the Romanian Ornithological Society - SOR / BirdLife Romania observed the eagle Saci and noticed that one of the straps of her satellite transmitter hangs. It is possible that the bird is taken off the transmitter itself and at the time to be alive. We hope Saci is well and we wish her safe flight!
Saci was hatched in 2010. The eagle took a Hungarian name from our colleague Marton Horvath from the Hungarian Ornithological Society - MME / BirdLife Hungary, which are partners of the project LIFE + "Conservation of Imperial Eagle and Saker Falcon in key areas of the Natura 2000 network Bulgaria ", within which the satellite tracking of Imperial Eagles is carried out.
