It’s not the first time that the birds have made a comeback in the UK.
White-tailed eagles have previously been successfully reintroduced in Scotland.
The first successful reintroduction began fifty years ago on the Isle of Rum, in Scotland’s Inner Hebrides.
However, as more schemes have been launched over the years, their return has not always been welcomed.
Some Scottish farmers say they are losing tens of thousands of pounds of livestock each year as the eagles take vulnerable lambs.
A spokeswoman for the National Sheep Association (NSA) said the organisation had “concerns when new white-tailed sea eagle releases are discussed”.
However, Natural England – the government’s wildlife licensing authority – said the reintroduction would be “carefully planned” alongside local landowners.
They added that they would “closely monitor” how the project on Exmoor is carried out.
