After successfully rearing her first ever eaglet to flying, Roxy has started to range more widely, mainly half day trips. On 24th August she was over Broad Law at 2pm and Hartfell at 4pm before returning to home range; on 29th August she made a much longer afternoon flight being over Talla at 3pm flying south at 30kph, over Capel Fell near Moffat at 4pm and then an hour later flying home at 75kph near White Coomb.
Ranging more widely
Roxy has bred successfully with one young and has started started to range more widely from the nest site – up to 3 km in early July and up to 6 km from the nesting site from mid month
Breeding at nest
Roxy is incubating and making occasional off-duty flights of up to 3km.
More time near breeding site
Roxy reducing her wandering and spending more time near nesting area – I hope this year she will be successful
In home-range
Roxy has started to spend more time close to the nesting site – hopefully she will be successful this coming season
No change
