This is a blog that features the movements of eagles reared in Scotland and fitted with satellite-received transmitters. This effort to better understand eagle dispersal is being undertaken by Natural Research and its partners: the Highland Foundation for Wildlife, the RSPB, SNH and the Scottish Raptor Study Groups. Eagles have been tracked since fledging and data from them will form part of a Natural Research funded PhD by Ewan Weston at Aberdeen University.

57109: 8 - 24 September 2012

57109 continued to move around the near the southern border of the Cairngorms National Park between Braemar and Dalwhinnie. It started off the period a few km SE of Gaick Lodge and Loch an t-seilich, and by the end of the period was back near the same place.  Although this one is moving around, its not always the case:  http://www.rspb.org.uk/news/325140-conservationists-appalled-by-eagle-death

32867: 9 - 18 September 2012

During the period 32867 continued to wander around Lewis north of Tarbert, generally staying away from the coast.  Not all eagle satellite tagged eagles are moving around freely:  http://www.rspb.org.uk/news/325140-conservationists-appalled-by-eagle-death

57109: 19 August - 3 September 2012

57109 started out the period east of Loch Ericht.  It moved east during the last two weeks of  August, and by 3 September was located NE of Blair Atholl.  Looking closely at the locations during this time reveals a number of roost sites used by this bird including some on the southern border of the Cairngorms National Park, both inside and outside the Park.

32867: 20 - 29 August 2012

32867 started out the period just NE of Tolmachan.  It then moved southeast-ish, then east on 24 August to a location across the loch and south of Eisgean.  By 29 August it was moving around west and southwest of Loch Langabhat.
