Brilliant recapture of a bird ringed recently at Lytchett Bay. Not all birds are heading south at this time of year.

"A Tale of Two Eagles" At the weekend I saw my 1st White-tailed Eagle at Lytchett since mid-February, I think it opened the floodgates as today we had 2! 1st off was this immature bird which is actually the 1st wild-born south of England bird from the Sussex nest in 2022

Another heavier crop of the immature White-tailed Eagle that was perched in a small tree 30 metres in front of French's Viewpoint #LytchettFields this morning
