It showcased the project’s success and the ways in which people can help golden eagles to flourish in southern skies once again. This year’s programme included a keynote speech by Iolo Williams, a family fun day (taking place Sunday 24 September) an Eagle Hill Fell Run, a motorbike event, a chainsaw demonstration by Moffat-based award-winning carver Peter Bowsher, live music, wildlife and author talks, and more.
