White-tailed eagle conservation in the United Kingdom

Overview

Reports highlight various developments regarding white-tailed eagle populations and conservation efforts in the United Kingdom.

In Scotland, a white-tailed eagle nicknamed ‘Kinky’ was spotted over the Isle of Mull. The bird survived a severe wing injury sustained during a storm in July 2023, which resulted in a permanent kink in its left wing. Naturalists noted that the eagle’s parents exhibited an unprecedented display of parental care by skipping a breeding season to feed the injured chick.

In England, a white-tailed eagle reintroduction project led by Forestry England and the Roy Dennis Wildlife Foundation reported the successful fledging of three new wild chicks this summer. This brings the total number of eagles born in the wild through the programme to nine. The project has released 56 birds to date, with ongoing operations in the Isle of Wight, Sussex, Dorset, and Exmoor National Park.
