Young male, Shine (B44), was the first eagle to be collected in 2021 from a stunning crag nest overlooking a loch in the Highlands.
After sharing an aviary with female Iona (C24) they were released on the same day, becoming the first young eagles to be translocated last summer.
Iona (C24) is a big, beautiful female Golden Eagle, the largest and heaviest bird we’ve released so far, weighing in at a whopping 4.8kg (the honour previously belonging to Beaky C11).
Earlier this year, project manager Cat Barlow appeared on a programme for NVTV entitled 'Nature's Haven'.
Watch an Eaglet from collection to release
One of the goals of the South of Scotland Golden Eagle Project is to raise awareness about the translocation process and the fieldwork involved. We have been keen to try and show you exactly what we do when collecting the chicks and how we care for them in the aviaries.
