White-tailed eagles part 2: the birds' release on the Isle of Wight

Continuing the story of six white-tailed eagle chicks, translocated by the Roy Dennis Wildlife Foundation, working in partnership with Forestry England, from nests in Scotland to the Isle of Wight, off England's south coast. This project aims to re-establish the birds in the place where they last bred in England, 240 years ago.
The podcast records the work that went into preparing the birds for their release, and hears how emotional it can be to see these majestic and long-absent birds return to the skies over England.
