In this special episode in collaboration with the RSPB to mark fifty years since the reintroduction of the White-Tailed Eagle, join host Elle as she sits down to speak to conservationist Dave Sexton about his integral involvement with this project.

In discussion about what it took to bring back Britain's largest bird of prey, how far the project has come and what the eagle's return tells us about hope, patience, and our changing relationship with the wild, Dave takes us on a journey of re-discovery.
