Hidden camera captures wild white-tailed eagle egg hatching

A hidden camera has captured the first live UK footage of a wild white-tailed eagle hatching. The camera, which had been hidden in a stick three metres away from the nest to avoid disturbing the birds, captured the moment.

White-tailed eagles became extinct in Scotland in 1918, but eagles from Scandinavia were reintroduced to the Isle of Rum in 1975. Fergus Cumberland, visitor experience manager for RSPB Scotland, said: 'Now to see that they've hatched their first chick is incredible. We feel so privileged to have been able to witness such a special moment'

Love how the parent curls its feet to protect the chick from its talons.

Do you want to check your figures ?
A wingspan of 25 meters is equal to 75 feet.
Are you talking about native Eagles or Dragons from a Disney film?

[@psbarrow]

Do you want to check your eyesight? It says "2.5 metres", not "25" nor "meters".

Yes!!
I checked my tiny screen & with a screen enlarger, I see a tiny dot 😀.
Glad there are no dragons in the skies of Scotland 😊

[@psbarrow]

@@zerotoleranceforsataniceli4794 Well, I don't think the clip either confirms or denies the existence of dragons in Scottish skies, so it remains an open question.

😊👍

Does eagle care that camera is hidden or not

[@pamelapamper]

Eagles are such majestic creatures. In another topic though I'm really concerned about the WEF's actively subverting democracy all over the world.
