Last Tuesday, St Peter's headed out into the field to discover which species inhabit the local woodlands of Gala Hill - notebooks in hand the students endeavoured to identify local birdlife from their in-situ field sketches and set a trail camera to see what was out and about during the hours of darkness. From Witches Butter Fungi to Badger Latrines the students explored their local environment and put into practice all of the skills they honed during their Eagle Schools 'Eagle ID' sessions.
Crossbills, Great Spotted Woodpeckers and other woodland species were heard in the canopy but eluded good views. However, one student, Chris, managed to find an old Sparrowhawk nest!
Last week Eagle Officer John Wright caught up with our oldest female Emily (121) a wee bit North of her last position. She has found a very active rabbit warren and, much like Edward (Blog 7.1.19), was seen exhibiting the same sort of hunting strategy employed by the young male.
St Peter's Primary School in Galashiels were treated to a visit from Mac the Golden Eagle last Friday (18.1.2019) as part of the their Eagle School work. Ray Lowden of the Kielder Bird of Prey Centre gave a fantastic and informative presentation to the students which included other raptors from across the globe as well as native species including a Barn Owl, Kestrel and Merlin.
