The Short-toed Eagle feeds mainly on snakes. Although it is widespread in many Mediterranean countries, this large bird of prey is still unknown. Despite its large size, it is able to hide very well thanks to its inconspicuous behaviour at the nest. Moreover its snake-based diet keeps it far away from human settlements. This eagle is a true trans-Saharan migratory bird which in early spring move towards Europe to nest in dense evergreen maquis. The film describes in full details the life cycle of the eagle families in the spectacular landscape of Central Italy, plenty of necropolis and acropolis of the ancient Etruscans.
