Welcome
We hope you find this website interesting and informative. It aims to present the results of our projects and to give you the latest news of migrating birds and the movements of eagles.
Updates
Just updated all the osprey pages. The first osprey chicks are just flying and early indications suggest a good breeding season. Tom, the golden eagle, is now two years old and is still summering on the Badenoch/Perthshire march. Vespa, the honey buzzard, continues to summer in the Liberian forests and the first summer osprey, Rothiemurchus, is summering in Senegal.
Information
The Highland Wildlife Foundation is a non-membership charitable trust dedicated to wildlife conservation and research, with a special emphasis on species recovery projects and the restoration of natural ecosystems. Our aim is to carry out important work in the field through project-based activity and to keep administrative overheads to a minimum.
We rely on donations and grants to carry out our projects, and we have some great ideas for 2010. If you would like to support our conservation work, we would be very grateful.
Satellite tagging is expensive (over £2000 per transmitter and a year's download data costs £750 to £1000) so we really appreciate donations and grants to carry out new research and to maintain our conservation work and this website. Please get it touch if you might like to help through a donation or by sponsoring a new bird's transmitter or the annual tracking charges. Or visit the Donate link above. Many thanks. Roy Dennis
