Call of the Eagle

Employed by the RSPB as a senior species protection warden at a secret location in Cumbria, the author was fortunate enough to become involved with this iconic species during their most productive breeding period; rearing six eaglets in the six years before he widened his interest to also study eagles in Scotland.

Over 30 years of observation, the author discovered and recorded many previously unknown facts about golden eagles and followed the life of one particular bird for 22 years. Eventually this bird showed little fear of him and accepted his presence. The author’s record of behaviour at the nest is unparalleled.
