We have special news!

With 5 pairs now established across England we hope to see further breeding in the coming years as this lost species is restored.

The reintroduction of #whitetailedeagles to the south of England has been boosted with a licence to release more of these iconic birds. Working with @ExmoorNP we will release up to 20 eagles from this location over the next 3 years, in addition to releases on the Isle of Wight.

We are devastated to share the news that three white-tailed eagles have disappeared in suspicious circumstances.

We are asking anyone who may have information to help the police investigation to please come forward.

The shallow waters of the Solent are rich in marine life and the released #WhiteTailedEagles have been learning to successfully catch fish. They favour grey mullet, bass and on this occasion dogfish, observed recently by our team. 🦅🐟

Our team spend many hours observing the released #WhiteTailedEagles to learn about their behaviour including diet. During a recent monitoring session they were lucky enough to capture this great clip of one of the eagles catching cuttlefish in the Solent Estuary.

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

A glider in the Peak District recently found himself flying alongside one of the released #WhiteTailedEagles - G813. He managed to capture some footage of this very special moment. Thanks to Derbyshire & Lancashire Gliding Club for sharing.

Some great action shots of G463 chasing an Osprey captured by Joe Downing. The pursuing #whitetailedeagle forces the Osprey to drop it’s freshly caught fish. Piracy is an key feature of eagle diet, but also an important ecosystem function of these apex predators. @RoyDennisWF
