Boyetz was fitted with Aquila datalogger as a juvenile bird in summer 2019 in the Moscow District, Russia. Spent each winter in Israel. Unfortunatelly this year already in January his logger did not register any movements, therefore Russian scientists contacted local ornithologist for help. Since the logger was active, they had no problems finding the body.

In 2019 four Greater Spotted Eagles were fitted with our loggers within the project. Untli now only one bird has survived.
