Irish sea eagle found covered in oil in Britain
Seven weeks ago, the young male bird was discovered unable to fly by a kayaker in an isolated cove on the coast of Aberdeenshire. Its plumage had been badly oiled by an unidentified substance.
But, after a successful period of care at the Scottish SPCA’s Wildlife Rescue Centre in Fife, where its feathers were washed to remove the oil, the eagle has again been set free.
