A field team of the LIFE project “Land for Life” made a study of the birds that inhabit in the areas of the project - foraging habitats of the globally threatened Imperial Eagle. They have visited 26 trial sites in 5 protected areas. There they observed a total of 86 bird species, 59 of which probably nesting in the areas, including those with an unfavorable conservation status as Stone Curlew, Calandra Lark, Greater Short-toed Lark and Wood Lark, Tawny Pipit, and others. Eighteen of the observed species are included in the Red Book of Bulgaria. The value of the surveyed sites was confirmed as foraging habitats of the Imperial Eagle and the Lesser Spotted Eagle, which has been observed to hunt there.
