Emiel (F27) is a young female golden eagle who was given her name by landowner Adrian in memory of his eldest son who sadly passed away after battling Burkitt Lymphoma, an aggressive form of non-Hodgkin B-cell lymphoma.
Initially housed in an aviary with Paradise (L11), Emiel was moved to her own enclosure after demonstrating a lack of tolerance towards her aviary partner.
Paradise is a young female eagle, collected from the beautiful Isle of Colonsay in Argyll on the 26th June 2023.
Talla (F15) is a young male golden eagle, collected on the 15th of June 2023 from Ardverikie Estate in the central Highlands. The collection team included project team members, raptor worker Dave Pierce and climbers Jon Brain and Dominic McAdam.
Young male Spirit (G26) was collected from a crag nest on the Isle of Mull on the 30th June, making him the last eagle to be collected during the summer 2023 translocations. He was also the smallest eagle of the year, weighing in at 3.75kg at his release.
