Talk: White-Tailed Eagles over Purbeck
February 7 @ 2:30 pm - 5:00 pm
A fascinating talk about the White Tailed Eagles, their visits/feeding and interactions with other wildlife, including Ospreys over the Isle of Purbeck.
The white-tailed eagle reintroduction programme.
In 2019, the Roy Dennis Wildlife Foundation in partnership with Forestry England began a white-tailed eagle reintroduction on the Isle of Wight; the purpose was to re-establish a breeding English population, something that had been missing for nearly 300 years. White-tailed eagles were once native to Southern Britain, but were persecuted to extinction and their population never recovered. They are the fourth largest eagle in the world, and have the largest wingspan of all the eagles, measuring in at an incredible eight-foot.
