After extreme efforts of Forestry England and the Roy Dennis Wildlife Foundation that this once lost species is making a comeback after more than two centuries.The foundation collected birds from wild and bought them to an island in Scotland.
As Quoted by Roy Dennis “I have spent much of my life working on the reintroduction of these amazing birds and so watching them take to the skies of the Isle of Wight has been a truly special moment.”
Fitted with GPS trackers team kept tracking four young birds and then in the last summer, six young white-tailed eagles were brought and released on the Isle of Wight under a five-year project to restore the species to southern England.
