Sutton Bingham - Wed 18 Dec

Originally seen yesterday (but news was not shared by the finder) a White-tailed Eagle was present at the northern end of the reservoir this morning. An absolute beauty of a bird, and what a size! I originally got it perched up but it took to the air before I could get a photo, so I just enjoyed the spectacle as it flew around before being lost to view.

A Cattle Egret was present on the northern causeway but with the eagle flying around I'm sorry to say I paid the egret very little attention.

Update:

I received the following from the Roy Dennis Foundation having reported the eagle:

"The White-tailed Eagle that you saw was a male with the leg ring code G637. He fledged from a nest in West Sussex in 2024."
