An ambitious project to re-establish a breeding population of white-tailed eagles on the south coast of England has moved a step closer to its goal with the release of 12 more juvenile white-tailed eagles on the Isle of Wight.<\/p>\n

The scheme, which began in 2019, is being run by Forestry England and the Roy Dennis Wildlife Foundation. It has already seen 13 birds released, of which ten have survived.\u00a0Up to 60 birds are planned to be released in total, with the aim that six to eight pairs will start breeding within three years.<\/p>\n

Encouraging to see that White-tailed Eagle G461 from the Isle of Wight was back at Poole Harbour today, three weeks after his previous visit.
