Successful summer

Roxy reared her first young eaglet in 2017 and in last month has always been within 2.5 km of the nest site

No Change

Canisp remains living in the Foinaven SPA in North Sutherland, but did not breed in 2017

Over and out

Agnes’s transmitter has been running intermittently in May and June, and has now stopped sending in good data. In July just a non-GPS from between Ben Dronaig and Loch Monar. This is one of her favoured areas and it looks as though this is the area she has chosen to remain.

At breeding site

Roxy remains very close to her breeding site and I think she must be feeding young

Still ranging widely in the Cairngorms National Park

Mackay was mainly in the Brown Cow Hill area but on 18th May carried out a 75 km circuit, passing Ballater at  11am, midday in Glen Clova and an hour later to the west of the Glenshee ski area and then back home. On the 19th/20th  May she flew to An Sgarsoch and back. On 24th/25th of May she made another circuit of the Angus glens and on 31st May a day trip to Abernethy reserve.
