That the Parliament celebrates the successful fledging of the first young golden eagle as part of efforts to restore the species in southern Scotland; notes that the eaglet, named Princeling, is the offspring of Emma, a relocated eagle from the Highlands, named in memory of the late equality campaigner, Emma Ritch, and Keith, an eagle from Galloway; welcomes the increase in the golden eagle population in the South Scotland region from just three breeding pairs to more than 50; commends the work of the charity, Restoring Upland Nature (RUN), in leading this achievement, and believes that this success offers new hope for Scotland’s natural heritage and future generations.
