Our 2008 wandering sea eagle was spotted flying over Leighton Moss at approximately noon on Sunday before visiting Haweswater in the Lake district. Haweswater used to be home to England's last breeding pair of golden eagles, but has been home to a solitary male since 2004. He must have thought his luck had changed when a larger eagle flew into his territory on Sunday! He must have quickly realised his mistake as the sea eagle was seen off after a short mid-air tussel! The bird was also seen over the Barden Scale watchpoint in the Yorkshire dales by National Park staff on Saturday.
Have loved all your blogs and all the links about your wandering birds, Claire. Many thanks.
What a pity it was not a female Goldie.
