Latest golden eagle 'fledglings’ named by Sam Heughan and Dame Judi Dench
Southern Scotland’s golden eagle recovery reached a new milestone this summer, as four young eagles directly descended from birds translocated through our South of Scotland Golden Eagle Project, hatched in nests across the area and took their first flights as ‘fledglings’ (young birds that have grown their wings and learned to fly). This brings the total number of golden eagles successfully fledged in southern Scotland this year to five.
