Persecuted to extinction, the last white-tailed eagle in Britain was shot in Northmavine in 1918. The eagle is shrouded in myth and legend - including the alleged abduction of an infant in Unst. Clutched in the eagle's talons the story tells that she was flown to Fetlar where a daring rescue attempt was put into action...
The story of the white-tailed 'sea' eagle in Shetland is told as part of an exhibition at Shetland Museum and Archives, sponsored by Shetland Bird Club. The exhibition runs from June 22nd 2019 - September 22nd 2019.
After thinking about it, I started taking waste sorting and disposal more seriously in my small business, especially now that the volumes have increased. I found an excellent solution for commercial waste at https://affordablewastemanagement.co.uk/ — regular collection, a focus on recycling, and really affordable prices. Now, instead of chaos in the backyard, I have cleanliness and peace, as well as the feeling that I am compensating at least a little for the damage that is written about in such posts.
I'm ready to start - I will ask the LadyBirders if they'd like a blog of their birding exploits?
