description The Lesser Spotted Eagle (Aquila [Clanga] pomarina) is a territorial raptor, distributed from Baltic region to Anatolia and Caucasus. Bulgaria is a part of the southern limit of the species distribution range. Since 2014, intensive field research in Eastern and Central Bulgaria identified an abundant and stable population of the species. For the period 2014–2023, 167 different active nests were found, and more than 450 occupied territories were mapped in Eastern and Central Bulgaria. Thus, the current population estimate is at least 1,000 breeding pairs. About 60% of the breeding population of the Lesser Spotted Eagle was situated in SPAs, but only 2.3% was located within Nature reserves, indicating insufficient protection of the species.
