A GROUP of 30 young conservationists recently had an 'unforgettable' experience when they got to study the first wild fledged white-tailed eagle to be born in Dorset in nearly 240 years.

The encounter occurred recently during an organised boat trip in Poole Harbour for children, which was being hosted by charity, Birds of Poole Harbour, as part of their ‘Young Birders’ club.

The young eagle known as ‘G834’ is the first white-tailed eagle to fledge from a wild nest in Dorset since the 1700’s and is a direct result of the popular reintroduction program that’s currently being carried out from the Isle of Wight by Forestry England and the Roy Dennis Wildlife Foundation.
