The RSPB (Royal Society for the Protection of Birds) actually began right here in Manchester, founded in Didsbury back in 1889 by a group of women outraged by the fashion for feathered hats, which was driving bird species towards extinction. What started as a small movement in a Manchester home grew into the UK’s largest nature conservation charity. Today, the RSPB continues that legacy—protecting birds, restoring habitats, and inspiring people to care for nature across the country, including right here in the city where it all began.
In 1918 the last White-tailed Eagle in the UK was shot and killed. 'Return' is a new RSPB film that celebrates one of the greatest comebacks in UK nature, seen through the eyes of those who made it happen.
Find out how a group of dedicated conservationists brought the White-tailed Eagle back – and meet the next generation of nature lovers taking this story into the future.
