I was in Iran last autumn together with two excellent local researchers to verify if it exists a migratory flyway of raptors between the southern coast of the the Caspian Sea and the Alborz mountain. The results were exciting since we observed the passage of hundreds of Steppe Eagles and other raptors, storks and bee-eaters. Our field survey reveals that the area is a migratory bottle-necks of paramount importance for Palearctic raptors. Everything there was impressive, the high mountains, the steppic area, the Gorgan Bay with tens of thousands waterbirds and, of course, the migration.
Here below a few pictures of eagles.
