golden eagle in the Scottish Highlands

Scottish Raptor Study Groups
Information on Golden Eagle

For several years now Roy Dennis and others have been studying the dispersal of young golden eagles in Scotland. These birds take 4-5 years to come to breeding maturity and very little was known about their movements during these years, until recently. The satellite-tracking projects have revealed some fascinating ranging behaviour and provided a unique insight into how these eagles learn about their land.
