One of the young birds released in August last year from east Scotland has recently been making a guest apperance at a selection of RSPB reserves in North East Scotland! This individual with red wing tags and the letter "A" has recently spent time on RSPB Loch of Strathbeg, and last week at Broubster Leans in Caithness. "Red A" who is a young male was joined at Strathbeg by another young bird "Red Z"- a female released in the same year. Since then, Red A has been spending time at Broubster Leans, but without his companion.
Since his release, he has made some spectacular journeys. He is the first east coast white-tailed sea eagle to be spotted on the isle of Arran where he spent time in October last year. He then ventured further west to Campbeltown before heading to Loch of Strathbeg.
Quite the adventurer!
Below is a photo of Red A taken on Arran by Brian Couper. A good example of scale!
