Sea Eagles Soar On Cannich Open-Air Cinema

The RSPB’s stunning film "The Eagle Odyssey" will be shown in the open air. This is the inspiring story of one of the UK’s greatest conservation successes.

The film focuses on the white tailed sea eagle which is finally back where it belongs, on the spectacular coasts and islands of north-west Scotland.

After centuries of persecution, sea eagles became extinct in the UK early last century. Today, dozens of pairs breed successfully in Scotland, each year drawing large numbers of visitors from around the world to see them. This awesome bird of prey is eight feet from wing tip to wing tip and one of the world’s largest eagles.

The film focuses on the factors that brought about this dramatic reversal in fortune for one of the world’s most spectacular birds of prey.

Organised by Highland Council’s Planning and Development Service as part of the Rangers’ programme of events, "The Eagle Odyssey" is a free event. All are welcome but places are limited and can be booked by phoning the Rangers on 01463 724312.

The event starts at 8pm on Saturday 3rd September and the exact location will be divulged to film-goers when making a booking. Rangers will be on hand before and after the film to answer any wildlife questions. In case of bad weather, Cannich Village hall may be used as an alternative venue.

Highland Council’s Countryside Rangers are grant aided by Scottish Natural Heritage. The role of Countryside Rangers is to promote public enjoyment and appreciation of the countryside and to conserve wildlife and habitats.
