The return of the eagles to UK skies has not always been seen as a good idea by everyone, though.

Farmers have previously raised concerns about the threat the golden eagles could cause to lambs.

The birds are one of the fastest animals on the planet, reaching speeds of up to 200mph. Their exceptional vision also means they can spot something as small as a rabbit moving three miles away.

Ed Parr Ferris, species recovery manager at Forestry England, the organisation that manages England’s public forests, said:

“We do recognize they can take small lambs very occasionally as a part of their diet, but that’s rare.”

He also said bringing golden eagles back can help to control species like foxes and badgers.
