White-tailed eagles: Footage reveals 'miracle chick' in flight ( www.bbc.co.uk )
Footage captured from a boat off the Isle of Mull shows a "miracle" white-tailed eagle chick in flight, after it was nursed back to health by two unusually caring parents.
In an unprecedented display of extended eagle parenting, the two white-tailed parents skipped this year's breeding season to continue to tend to their year-old offspring.
The youngster's wing was broken when the nest fell to the ground during unseasonably wild weather last year.
The footage shows a bulge in the bird's wing - apparently a healed broken bone.
