Introduction
Canisp is a female golden eagle that was fitted with a satellite transmitter as a chick in 2011. To view further details about her movements and history click on her link on the left.
Update
February 18, 2020
In 2017, Canisp settled in the Foinaven SPA in North Sutherland, and the following summer bred, unsuccessfully at her first attempt. The transmitter fell off, as they should do after 5 years, and was found and collected by Derek Spencer. We guess she is now the resident eagle at that home range.
