What's On - World Eagle Day 2025

Join us at 11am on 18th March for a talk and feed to celebrate World Eagle Day!

Eagles are among the most majestic birds of prey, soaring high with incredible strength and precision. At Camperdown, we are home to two remarkable eagles - each from a different species.

Clova is a Golden Eagle, one of the most widely distributed eagles in the Northern Hemisphere. These powerful birds can be found in Scotland, where conservation efforts have led to a rise in breeding pairs.

Ernie is a White-tailed Eagle, a species that was reintroduced to Scotland in the 1970s and 1980s with birds relocated from Norway. In 1983, they bred in Scotland for the first time in modern history, and further reintroductions followed in 2007.

Sadly, both Clova and Ernie were injured early in life and would not survive in the wild. However, they now serve as incredible ambassadors for their species, helping to raise awareness about the conservation of these magnificent birds.
