Once-extinct white-tailed eagles are now thriving in England, conservationists say, as the relocated birds have been spotted spreading their wings over London.
The Forestry England project to rehome birds from Scotland in the Isle of Wight has been a success, leaders say, as four of the six birds introduced last summer have survived and another seven were relocated this August.
The birds, which have an eight-foot wingspan, have been spotted soaring across the UK, with one female spending the summer in Scotland before returning to her mate and home.
