Sea eagles fly in to Scotland
BBC Scotland
A new batch of 16 young sea eagles have been set up in secret aviaries over the weekend as part of ongoing efforts to reintroduce them across Scotland.
The white-tailed eaglets arrived at Edinburgh Airport on Friday after being flown in as a gift from Norway.
The group is being reared in Fife until they are strong enough to fledge.
Last year, 19 white-tailed sea eagles were released into the wild in Fife. They are the UK's largest bird of prey.
Now in its fifth year, the initiative has been releasing the species into eastern Scotland, with the long-term hope of restoring the birds across the full extent of their former range.
