Until April 7, visitors to the Ecomuseum with an aquarium in the city of Ruse on the Danube River can view the exhibition "A View of the Golden Eagle's Nest" by Ivaylo Angelov, a doctoral student at the National Museum of Natural Sciences at the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences.

The Bulgarian scientist has devoted the last 3 years of his professional career to this feathered species. For this purpose, Angelov has installed a photo trap with sensors in an inhabited nest of a golden eagle, which takes 12,900 photos over a period of 45 days. This is the time at which a one-month-old eagle reared in the monitored environment grows and flies.

Curious moments of the daily life of the eagle family were filmed. "The male mainly brings the food, and the female warms the young during the day and night. He brings a little more nesting material and she adds green twigs, cleaning the food scraps from the nest as well. The male is also responsible for driving away eagles - intruders, as well as other birds of prey," Angelov told BTA and added: "I often work from great distances - I watch the eagles from three to four kilometers away. The work is in difficult field conditions - in rain, snow, cold. I move on bad dirt roads, but this work is a passion for me".
