This is a blog that features the movements of eagles reared in Scotland and fitted with satellite-received transmitters. This effort to better understand eagle dispersal is being undertaken by Natural Research and its partners: the Highland Foundation for Wildlife, the RSPB, SNH and the Scottish Raptor Study Groups. Eagles have been tracked since fledging and data from them will form part of a Natural Research funded PhD by Ewan Weston at Aberdeen University.

IF YOU CLICK ON THE MAPS THEY WILL OPEN IN ANOTHER WINDOW AND WILL BE MUCH CLEARER.

Three juvenile eagles movements up to Feb 2011


This map shows three juvenile Golden eagles movement over the past 7 days. These 3 individuals were tagged in the summer of 2010 and two come from the Cairngorms both males and the third is a female from Angus. Movements over the winter period tend to be quite resticted for Golden eagles.

These tags transmit every 7 days so it is hoped that the blog will be updated weekly.
