After seemingly abandoning the
territory in 2017, white-tailed eagles are once again in residence on Hoy, RSPB
Scotland confirmed this week.
Up to three birds have been
observed this year, including a breeding pair which appear to be nesting.
If they breed successfully, it will be the first time this has happened in
Orkney since 1873. The other eagle present is estimated to be around three
years old.
Lee Shields, RSPB Scotland’s
Warden on Hoy said: “We’re delighted to see these magnificent birds soaring
over the Hoy hills once again, especially now that a pair have settled down
together.
