Young male A31 known as ‘Tarras’ is easily identifiable by his ‘headlight markings’. These distinctive white markings on his shoulders make him stand out and present as bright headlights when seen from head on. These particular plumage qualities will likely fade with age.
Tarras was named by project contributer Daniel Lacey, in honour of the newly acquired Tarras Valley Nature Reserve near his hometown of Langholm.
Update on south Scotland golden eagle Speckled Jim
We’ve been monitoring the progress of the eight golden eagle juveniles that we released earlier in the summer. They are all settling into their new home and beginning to fend for themselves.
It has been a hugely successful year for the South of Scotland Golden Eagle Project. After 8 eagles were successfully released at the end of the summer, we now have 12 translocated eagles thriving in southern skies. This year also saw the launch of our permanent exhibition, The Eyrie at Philiphaugh Estate near Selkirk and we held the first ever Eagle Town Festival in Moffat. However, the work doesn’t stop there, 2022 will bring further translocations and many more opportunities to engage people and communities across the south of Scotland with this ground-breaking project and iconic bird.
