1st time in 150 years, white-tailed eagles successfully breed in Northern Ireland due to conservation efforts.
For the first time in 150 years, white-tailed eagles have successfully bred in Northern Ireland, with two first-time breeders raising one chick in County Fermanagh. This milestone follows a reintroduction effort from 2007 to 2011, aimed at restoring the species, which had been extinct since the late 19th century. The breeding highlights the success of conservation programs and the importance of habitat preservation for these birds of prey.
