Following the early success of the #WhiteTailedEagle project based on the Isle of Wight we are exploring the idea of additional small scale releases at @ExmoorNP to boost the establishing population on the south coast. Share your views here https://t.co/KhNFgieg0h

We have some news....🐣🦅
Two #WhiteTailedEagle chicks have fledged from a nest in England, only the 2nd time they have bred here for 240 years.
The chicks are the offspring of white-tailed eagles released by the @ForestryEngland @RoyDennisWF in 2020.

Great to see @Marwellwildlife shortlisted for over 30 years of efforts to reintroduce sand lizards to southern England. It was wonderful to work with these charismatic critters, the Marwell team, and project partners for my PhD, restoring 🦎 to Eelmoor Marsh in Hampshire

This year's "chick" - G625 - has been out of the nest for 2 months & is still hanging out with his parents. They'll continue to feed him until they start to prepare for the next breeding season. Then he will become fully independent. 🙏🏻 Phil Thornton for the images @RoyDennisWF

Absolutely ecstatic to be able to share this news. A stirling effort from our wonderful team @ForestryEngland and the fantastic @RoyDennisWF . This is what it's all about #speciesrecovery #reintroduction #WhiteTailedEagle 🦅🌳😊

[Sea Eagle England @SeaEagleEngland]

What a moment! A #WhiteTailedEagle is born in England – the 1st for over 240 years! It hatched earlier this summer & has now fledged. It's the first breeding success of the birds released by @ForestryEngland & @RoyDennisWF in a landmark project to return this iconic species.
