SNH Commissioned Report 982: Analyses of the fates of satellite tracked golden eagles in Scotland

http://www.snh.org.uk/pdfs/publications/commissioned_reports/982.pdf

Quote:

"Of  131  young  eagles  tracked,  as  many  as 41  (31%)  have  disappeared  (presumably  died) under  suspicious  circumstances  significantly  connected  with  contemporaneous  records  of illegal  persecution.  These  disappearances  occurred  mainly  in  six  areas  of  the  Highlands (predominantly in the central and eastern Highlands).
 
Some,  but  not  all,  areas  managed  as  grouse  moors  were  strongly  associated  with  the disappearance of many of the tagged eagles.

Tagging  revealed  that  the  persecution  of  young  eagles  is  suppressing  the  golden  eagle population  in  the  central  and  eastern  Highlands,  and  hampering  overall  recovery  from historic, widespread persecution.

Wind  farms  were  not  associated  with  any  recorded  golden  eagle  deaths,  and  there  were very few records of tagged young golden eagles near wind farms.

Operations  associated  with  tagging  had  no  discernible  adverse  effects  on  the  welfare, behaviour or survival of the birds."


One in three tagged golden eagles died 'suspiciously' in Scotland
