Following on from yesterday's update here is the video of Beaky (C11) being mobbed by two Buzzards just days after release.
In the video Beaky (C11) is in juvenile plumage. This plumage is predominantly a very dark, chocolate brown with the head more ginger than gold. The most striking feature at this age is usually the distinctive white wing patches and tail (although Edward (C09) had very little white on his wings).
Many people contact the project asking how to tell the difference between a Buzzard and a young Eagle.
First of all, we hope wherever you are in the world, that you are safe and well and those you care about are equally so.
Project Update - 2020 Translocations
We really hope you are keeping safe and well during the current Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. It is important that we all follow the latest government advice at this time to support our wonderful NHS and help to save the lives of our loved ones, our staff and our communities. For this reason, we sadly will not be proceeding with plans to collect or release chicks in June of this year as we had previously planned and been licensed to do so. It would be irresponsible for us to contemplate any collections or releases which require a team of dedicated staff and volunteers while restrictions on movements are in place.
