The number of golden eagles in southern Scotland has hit its highest recorded level since the early 19th Century.

There are now estimated to be more than 30 birds in an area where there were fewer than five breeding pairs just four years ago.

The South of Scotland Golden Eagle Project (SSGEP) has been relocating birds to the region since 2018.

It started bringing chicks from the Highlands but has now begun introducing older birds.

It is the first project in the UK to move golden eagles aged between six months and three years from one area to another.

The latest additions are seven birds caught in the Outer Hebrides and then transported and released in the south of the country.

The islands were selected as they have one of the highest densities of the bird in Europe.

The operation - carried out under licence from NatureScot - saw the golden eagles released almost immediately on arrival at a secret location in the Southern Uplands.

They will now be monitored to see if they settle and breed in the area.

If successful, it could be used to support other raptor conservation projects.

The SSGEP brought in its first young birds to the Moffat Hills in 2018.

Since then it has successfully released 12 young eagles collected as chicks from nests in the Highlands and Islands.
