Since 15 sea eagle chicks arrived from Norway in June, details of their reintroduction to the East Coast of Scotland have been secret. For two months the chicks were held in cages in an undisclosed location in north Fife, where they were fed venison, rabbit and fish to build up their strength before being released in August.

 

Over the past two weeks all of the remaining birds, who are now six months old and fully grown, have left the release site and are roosting in the surrounding countryside, The Times can disclose. Two of the 15 — a male and a female — have died after landing on electricity transformers. Since August there have been 250 sightings, compared with only a few dozen each year on the West Coast, including some in highly unlikely places.
