The release of six white-tailed eagle chicks on the Isle of Wight has made national headlines, as it's a reintroduction of Britain's largest bird of prey after an absence of 240 years. The white-tailed eagle was killed out by man, rather than by poor habitat or inadequate food, and it's hoped that the 60 birds which are due to be released in the five years of this project will go on to establish a population, building on the success of similar reintroductions in Scotland.
This podcast looks at the work of the Roy Dennis Wildlife Foundation, acting in partnership with Forestry England, and focusses on the hands-on conservation carried out by the team, turning ambitious wildlife theory into exciting and groundbreaking practice.
