The animal is a Circaetus gallicus also called biancone and was saved by the firefighters of Provence, let's see what happened.
A resident of Allauch in Provence had noticed him on the ground injured. We are talking about a majestic bird of prey that is very reminiscent of Bonelli's eagle. The animal that is actually a Circaetus gallicus, also called biancone, was rescued by the local firefighters, let's see what happened.
The biancone is a bird of prey belonging to the accipitridae family, do you know what its peculiarity is? That of feeding exclusively on snakes. Often mistaken for an eagle, it has a length of 70 centimeters, but with open wings it reaches 190 centimeters. A very imposing bird of prey with a large head and yellow eyes, so when a citizen of Allauch noticed the helpless animal on the ground, he immediately alerted the firefighters.
The harrier is now in the Kniasian veterinary clinic in Marseille, the diagnosis is not serious: a fracture in a wing that slowly returns to its place allowing the predator to return to hunt. The Circaetus, like all species of birds of prey, is protected in France, according to the law of 10 July 1976 relating to the protection of nature and the 1973 Washington Convention.
Now the animal has been entrusted to the League for the Protection of Birds (LPO) because until it is completely healed it cannot be released into the wild. Good luck to this beautiful bird of prey, it could have ended very badly, but things went differently and on his way he met someone who cared about his fate.
