Page "Golden Eagle" Paragraph 33

There was a great decline in Central Europe where they are now essentially restricted to the Apennine, Alps, and Carpathian Mountains.

In Britain, the last comprehensive survey of Golden Eagles took place in 2003, and found 442 occupied territories.

A less thorough survey in 2007 showed that in addition to large numbers of territories in the Scottish Highlands and the Inner and Outer Hebrides, there were a handful of birds in southern Scotland and northern England.

Between 1969 and 2003 they nested in the Lake District, Cumbria.
