In recent years a great amount of new information had been acquired on the remarkable long-distance migration of the Lesser Spotted Eagle (LSE) Aquila pomarina using satellite telemetry (ST) (Meyburg et al. 1993, 1995, 2000, 2001, 2007b, 2008). Much of the early data was collected by tracking nine birds fitted with battery-powered transmitters (platform transmitter terminals, PTTs). Because of their limited life-span, the output from these battery-powered PTTs could be received from only a few locations (circa 100). As a result, the migration routes, especially the homeward ones, were tracked without many specific details. Since 1996 we have been able to use many solar-powered PTTs. These transmitters can supply much more data than the battery-powered PTTs, thereby allowing a far more detailed study of the migration to be made. Until now, information on the migration and wintering behaviour of only two birds, an adult male from Slovakia and a German juvenile, equipped with this type of transmitter have been published (Meyburg et al. 2004, 2008). Previously it has not been possible to equip both members of a pair with transmitters. This is the first time that a pair of this species has been equipped with PTTs, herby enabling the migration routes of both birds to be monitored with unprecedented precision.
