🚨 NIGHTMARE DISCOVERY in Akkar, LEBANON! Our teams wade knee-deep in feathers at a single poacher's 'plucking site.' This mountain of remains includes over 50 protected raptors: #HoneyBuzzards #LesserSpottedEagles & #Sparrowhawks. The scale of the slaughter is OUT OF CONTROL.

A really positive summer for the White-tailed Eagle project.
We are delighted to report that two pairs of White-tailed Eagles have bred successfully in southern England this summer, rearing a total of three chicks at nests in Sussex and Dorset. You can read more on our website: https://t.co/zK6JhnrzYs

Studying the diet of the White-tailed Eagles is a key part of the project. Our research has shown that fish becomes the favoured prey as the eagles mature and begin breeding. Learn more in our latest short film about the project.
In the final part of our new video series, we’re joining the project team to learn how they are working towards long term recovery of White Tailed Eagles in England. Watch here: https://t.co/fvrsLL9Rc3

So pleased to see this Osprey return. Hopefully a sign of things to come in the West Midlands
What a phenomenal week! The Osprey chick we ringed in Staffordshire in 2023 with @RoyDennisWF & @timmackrill has returned! He was seen fishing in the county on Thursday. The survival rate for migrating young birds is only thought to be around 30%. An incredible record!!!
