Earlier this year we livestreamed a White-tailed Eagle nest for the very first time as part of our celebration of the 50th anniversary of their reintroduction to Scotland. As luck would have it, the resident pair decided to nest at another spot nearby. Recently, though, the juvenile from that nest has fledged and has been paying visits to our camera. Here you can see this young bird stretching its wings, jumping around and generally getting used to having a two-metre wingspan! 🦅❤️ | RSPB Scotla
