The story of the dramatic recovery of three of Britain's most spectacular birds - the sea eagle, the osprey and the red kite. In the run up to the First World War, all three birds were in rapid decline: only five pairs of red kites survived in the whole country. Ospreys and sea eagles actually became extinct in Britain in 1916. Since then a 50-year struggle against the odds has led to ospreys breeding in England in 2001, red kites thriving a few miles from London and healthy population of sea eagles breeding on the West Coast of Scotland.
