Jump to contentAllNewsSportCultureLifestyleThe eagles fledged at Loch Sunart (Forestry and Land Scotland/PA)Two white-tailed eagle chicks near Loch Sunart in the Highlands have successfully fledged after local access was temporarily restricted to protect their nest. Forestry and Land Scotland closed a nearby car park and footpaths to Àrd-Àirigh to minimise disturbance to the birds during the breeding season. The juvenile birds are currently building their strength near the nest, meaning access restrictions will remain in place until they range further away. Visitors wishing to observe the birds without causing disruption have been advised to use the Garbh Eilean hide. Separately, a white-tailed eagle nicknamed Kinky, who survived a broken wing following a nest fall as a chick in 2023, was recently spotted flying over Mull.
