Meet Thistle

19 December 2022

H03, 'Thistle', a male golden eagle, was the first chick to be collected in the 2022 season. Thistle came from RSPB Abernethy reserve in the Scottish Highlands.

Typically the eagle chicks remain on the nest platform in the aviary for around three weeks before they start to venture on to the perches attached to the nest. Thistle, however, was very adventurous and began to edge out onto the perch within a week of arriving.
