Good news: There are now ten white-tailed eagles in the Oslofjord area
Not since the 1880s have there been more white-tailed eagles in the Oslo Fjord area.
Researchers have registered four young and six adult white-tailed eagles in the Oslo Fjord area, the newspaper Aftenposten writes.
The white-tailed eagle returned to the Oslo Fjord in 2008 when a couple established itself on Håøya by Drøbaksundet. The white-tailed eagle had been gone from the area since the last known pair was shot in 1882.
In 2008, researchers thought the population would pick up fairly quickly. However, it took quite a few years.
Recently, a white-tailed eagle has established a nest in Østfold.
“This is something we have been waiting for for decades, so now it should finally happen,” biologist Jan Ingar Båtvik said about the news.
