Sea Eagle With Broken Wing Spotted Again Off Scotland's West Coast
A sea eagle that survived despite a broken wing, surprising experts, has reportedly been seen flying above Scotland's west coast once more, according to the BBC.
A sea eagle that confounded experts by surviving with a broken wing has been spotted back above Scotland's west coast, the BBC reported.
According to the BBC's report, the bird's continued survival despite its injury had previously puzzled wildlife observers, who did not expect it to endure with the damaged wing.
The report did not provide further details on the eagle's specific location, the cause of its injury, or the identity of the experts who had earlier expressed surprise at its survival.
Sea eagles, also known as white-tailed eagles, are among the largest birds of prey in the United Kingdom and have been the subject of conservation efforts along Scotland's coastline in recent years.
The BBC did not specify further updates on the eagle's condition or plans, if any, for continued monitoring of the bird.
