A man who breached lockdown rules by travelling from England to camp on Loch Lomond had to be rescued when he got stuck on an island. The man, who had been camping on the west side of Inchtavannach, had come to Scotland to spend the Easter weekend. However, after becoming stuck on the island when his kayak paddle went missing, he called Police Scotland so that he could get back to his car which was parked in the nearby hamlet Aldochlay. Loch Lomond Rescue Boat were paged just before 2pm on Tuesday, and went to the man s aid. It comes as Scotland s Stay at Home rule was replaced by a Stay Local message from April 2, meaning travel regulations within mainland Scotland have eased slightly.
A giant white-tailed eagle reintroduced to the Isle of Wight has flown 29 miles across the Channel to France in just 40 minutes.
Known as the flying barn door due to their huge size, seven juvenile white-tailed sea eagles were restored to the island last summer as part of a five-year project.
One of them, a young male identified as G463, travelled between Dungeness and Boulogne-sur-Mer at around 1pm yesterday.
He then flew a further 105 miles (169km) through northern France before stopping near Saint-Quentin, according to his tracker.
White-tailed sea eagles which have a wingspan of up to 8ft (2.4m), had not been recorded in England since 1780 when they were hunted to extinction.

What is this blue belt? Essentially a series of marine protected areas, or marine national parks. The charity the Blue Marine Foundation this week called for the establishment of 10 of these, including one in Argyll and the Islands. They see these as part of a wider “blue belt” protecting marine ecosystems in UK waters across the globe.
Don’t we already have Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) in Scotland? Why do we need marine national parks?
