We are very excited to share that Javis is recovering well following his successful eye surgery. 🎉

Last week Jarvis underwent the specialist procedure to remove cataracts that had severely impaired his vision. He is now resting comfortably under the close supervision of our expert animal care team.

Early signs are extremely encouraging, with Jarvis already showing positive progress as he begins his recovery journey. The team have seen him looking up at the night sky!

A massive thank you to our supporters for funding his eye surgery.

With a special thanks to Claudia and her team @thedickvet for making this operation possible.

It’s been wonderful to hear so many speakers at the 4th International Conservation Translocation Conference talk about the achievements of the South of Scotland Golden Eagle Project as an example of best practice. This is testament to the incredible work of our project team and the support from our partners, funders, supporters and communities across the south of Scotland.

As part of this major international conference, which is highlighting the latest innovations to save threatened species and restore fragile ecosystems, we're honoured that our CEO Dr Catherine Barlow has been invited to speak later this afternoon. She will talking about the project she has managed since 2017, and how it has helped restore golden eagles in the South of Scotland to record numbers. She will also explain the vital role that stakeholders and partners have played in that success, and the importance of collaboration and community engagement in helping to secure a future for golden eagles in the South of Scotland.

Over the past eight years, working closely with licensed experts and support from local Scottish Raptor Study Group members, landowners and land managers, we have carefully moved (or translocated) young golden eagles from the Scottish Highlands and islands into the South of Scotland to help strengthen the small existing population. This included, for the first time in the UK, moving slightly older ‘subadult’ golden eagles.

Since the project began, the known golden eagle population in the South of Scotland has grown from just six birds to more than 50, while the number of areas occupied by golden eagles has increased from just three isolated pairs to 18 established home ranges across the region.

The 4th International Conservation Translocation Conference has been organised by NatureScot, The University of Edinburgh, The Royal (Dick) School of Veterinary Studies, Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh, and the The Royal Zoological Society of Scotland. #ICTC26

After three years of studying, learning, and spending as much of my free time as possible sat behind a laptop, I’m honestly so proud, pleased, and relieved to be able to share that I’ve been awarded a Master of Science in Veterinary Anaesthesia and Analgesia (with Distinction!) from the University of Edinburgh.

Officially, Felicity Reynolds MSc (VAA) 🎓✨ #msc#vaa#edinburghuniversity#royaldickvet
