Come and discover the story of the East Scotland Sea Eagles with RSPB staff and volunteers. We are running a programme of family-friendly activities throughout the summer so you can follow the sea eagle tale through its highs and lows. There will be updates on how this year’s chick is getting on and we also have exclusive video footage gathered over the past seven years of the reintroduction project.
The programme includes special event days and guided walks at Tentsmuir Forest, as well as other locations across Fife, including Tayport Harbour Cafe and St Andrews Botanic Gardens. Follow this link for directions to Tentsmuir Forest: http://scotland.forestry.gov.uk/visit/tentsmuir.
Some events are drop-in but others will require booking. For full details on events please visit www.rspb.org.uk/scotland and enter 'Fife' in the ‘Near You’ window. We will add more dates throughout the season. Please note that some events will be weather dependant so please keep an eye on our facebook page for latest updates.
The summer programme is to help raise awareness about how these magnificent birds were brought back and is supported by the Heritage Lottery Fund. The East Scotland Sea Eagle reintroduction project is a partnership between RSPB Scotland, Forestry Commission Scotland and Scottish Natural Heritage. Between 2007 and 2012, 85 white-tailed eagles were released; the first successful nesting attempt in east Scotland was 2013. We have a successful nesting attempt for the second year running, see here.
We look forward to saying hello sometime soon. Here are some pictures of our summer so far...
