Preparations are well underway for the arrival of the new cohort of sea eagle chicks this year.
Licences have been granted, flights have been arranged, now it's all down to the birds to get on with rearing the chicks until they are ready to be collected.
The team have been working hard to prepare the 10 aviaries for the chicks to be kept in. The walls, platforms and perches have been scrubbed, the ground has been weeded and the bedding material put down already. It's great that the aviaries have remained in such great condition for the duration of the project without needing hardly any repairs at all!
The chicks will be collected when they are between 5 and 8 weeks old so that they are big enough to tear up their own food and feed themselves with the food we provide. This means we don't have to handle them to feed them in captivity, and they have minimal contact with people.
