Hi john
saw the report myself. thats one impressive bird. Do you know if the golden eagle at haweswater in the lakes managed to get another partner. As i believe one of the pair died recently? |

I am pretty sure that the Haweswater bird is still alone. Certainly I haven't heard recently of any news regarding it being joined by a partner.

I heard a report about this on the radio yesterday morning and whilst obviously it's good news that the talented vet was able to restore the bird's sight in one eye, what a great pity that she'll never be able to be released back into the wild.

True but think off the possibilities of any offspring raised through the union. If they do pair up then some good will come out of it all.
