The movements of a young Imperial Eagle in Hungary were followed from fledging through break-up of the family and dispersion by means of satellite and conventional VHF telemetry. The eagle fledged 0n 31 July 1992, was observed for the last time in the nest area on 27 August. 0nly 24 hours later it was located 245 km distant from its birth place, having flown south-west to Slovenia near the Austrian border. Thus it clearly left the breeding area earlier than young Spanish Imperial Eagles A. adalberti, in which the post-fledging period lasts between 35 and 67 days, on average 51 days. After leaving the nest the Hungarian bird was located 56 times. Over the six weeks up to its probable death it covered at least 1180 km, during which it spent two weeks in the food-rich Pokupsko Depression, south-west of Zagreb (Croatia).
