The Scottish Gamekeepers Association (SGA) has had a bit of a Daily Mail moment by claiming reintroduced sea eagles pose a serious threat to children, and that there should be an "exit strategy"* to deal with the menace from birds of prey should they decide to dine on Caledonian kiddies.
The warning comes after a white-tailed sea eagle attack on the Very Rev Hunter Farquharson, when the man of the cloth arrived home at Abernethy, near Perth, to find one of his geese dead on the ground. While attempting to protect a second goose from clawed death, Farquharson suffered a head injury when the "flying barn door" jumped onto his back.
