Methuselah the 31-year-old golden eagle, which has spent most of its life in captivity, has taken its first flight in the Scottish hills on the 4th March 2008. Methuselah was taken from the wild at the age of four and has spent most of her life in a cage in Yorkshire. Last year she was released into the care of Elite Falconry in Fife, where trainers have been working on her fitness and teaching her to fly again.
