The Eagles Are Landing

Ten years after worried outdoor pig farmers blocked a proposal to reintroduce the White-tailed eagle to Norfolk, the scheme has received backing from more than 20 landowners in the area (https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2021/jan/22/farmers-back-plan-to-reintroduce-white-tailed-eagle-to-norfolk).

Its proposed home also has reintroduced beavers.
