You can now have the fantastic opportunity to witness the Golden Eagle up close in its natural habitat. In a combined project between the RSPB and the Ardnamurchan Natural History Centre costing £8000, CCTV cameras have been set up and trained on a deer carcass in a glen in Ardnamurchan. As the birds come to feed, pictures will be sent live to large screens at the centre in Glenborrodale, just a couple of miles away. Visitors will also be able to see the birds through telescopes as they come in to feed. (April 2007)
Heat-loving lark ventures to Scotland
A new arrival to the Highlands - the short-toed lark - has been recorded in the latest report on bird life in the region.
The small bird is commonly found in warm, dry regions like Spain and North Africa and it is rarely found in the north of Europe. But according to the latest annual report published in the Scottish Ornithologist Club's Highland Branch, the lark was spotted at Ardnamurchan in 2004. That brings the total number of wild bird species officially recorded in the Highlands to 332.
