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.

57109: 19 - 28 May 2012

As in previous periods, 57109 spent much of its time in the Monadhliaths.  It did make an excursion  between morning of 21 May and morning of 22 May, first heading north then circling around to the SW, S, then back to the Monadhliaths,  Its location at the end of this tracking period was only about 900 m from its location at the beginning of the tracking period.

32867 started off the period in the north of the island about 8 km south of Port Ness.  It then headed south and between 26 and 29 May it bounced between essentially two locations west of Manish.  By 30 May it was very close to Rhenigidale.
