Our female Bateleur Eagle has got a new mate, who arrived at the centre in the middle of September from our friends at the International Centre for Birds of Prey.

The 10 year old has replaced her old mate, who sadly passed away last year at the age of 43, after successfully fathering 12 chicks in total, including our display bird, Guy. The new male has already started building a nest, so we are hoping this new pair will also succefully breed. Bateleur Eagles are a near threatened species in the wild, with populations outside of protected areas declining dramatically.
