More info: The booted eagle on the Spanish mainland, is a migrant species but is resident in The Balearic Islands. Booted eagles are generally tree nesting and will choose warm sunny slopes and rarely cliffs.

Both the male and female construct the nest and often use the same nest site each year. Eggs are laid between April and the end of may and incubation is about 5 weeks and mostly carried out by the female. Usually 2 eggs are laid leading to only 1 fully-grown nestling. One of the main causes of chick mortality is predation, often by the Eagle Owl.
