Golden eagles soaring south back to English skies
- A young male golden eagle named Talla was observed in Northumberland, England, in March 2025, marking notable sightings beyond Scotland.
- Golden eagles vanished from England by the mid-1800s, but a conservation initiative in southern Scotland has helped restore their numbers by relocating young birds since 2018.
- The Project moved 28 juveniles and 15 sub-adults from the Scottish Highlands, increasing the southern Scotland population to about 50 birds near the Borders and Dumfries and Galloway.
- Michael Clarke, chair of the Project, noted that satellite tracking has revealed some golden eagles are starting to explore areas in Northumberland, although it remains unclear whether they are establishing territories there.
- These developments suggest golden eagles may reestablish territories in England, especially around the Rothbury Estate and Simonside Hills, though this process may take time and careful planning.
