Don't know if any of you bidding enthusiasts follow Roy Dennis Wildlife Foundation but here is a report from it about the Sea Eagles released on the IOW in 2020, and also of the journeys of other recorded Sea Eagles. A most interesting read.

They are being decimated despite habitat improvement beause foxes are out of control and sweeping up all chicks. There is a high probability that they will be extinct within a decade. Are we looking at wildlife through the wrong end of the binoculars?

Just a thought but please enlighten me as to why Golden Plover are still on the legal list for shooters in the UK? It’s good to talk and learn from others!

Link is now live, mickey.😄
Edit, for some reason I can't get it to load, strange.
Posted on 02/04/2022 21:23 by FishermanNo idea about Golden Plovers but then of the usual date makes much sense, Probably a desktop task by wet behind the ears jobsworths.

Different island but maybe just as important for both the species and the locals on IOW and beyond.

Just seen this on AOL, great news .
"A hidden camera has captured the first live UK footage of a wild white-tailed eagle hatching. Staff at RSPB Scotland’s Abernethy nature reserve in Perthshire, where the eaglet hatched, described it as being “such a special moment”. It comes after eggs were first spotted in a nest being used by eagles Shona and Finn early in March.
The nest’s location remains secret, to avoid the birds being disturbed, but after both eagles took turns incubating the eggs and protecting them from the snow and recent storms, RSPB Scotland confirmed the first egg had hatched at 1943 on April 8.
A camera, which has been hidden in a stick three metres away from the nest to avoid disturbing the birds, captured the moment – with images of the eaglet emerging being beamed live to the Loch Garten Nature Centre in Abernethy.
