Most of these beautiful birds have started their 6000 mile migration to South Africa & Namibia for the autumn/winter, where obviously its not autumnwinter but in fact spring/summer...they'll travel up to 200 miles per day...can't wait to see them arrive back in April..

17 months! What's the hold up? Why isn't this decision-making process a priority for NatureScot?
The consequences of this inaction were made v clear yesterday, with the suspicious disappearance of two more Golden Eagles in south Scotland.
