WTE to Norfolk

[JohnC6]

I see that White-Tailed Eagles are to be re-introduced to west Norfolk next year and that they're from Poland. It would have been this year but for Covid restrictions although Poland is on the UK green list I assume this is in relation to the handlers rather than the eagles


We're off to Mull tomorrow and the lady who runs a post office on the south west side of the island and just along the road from our cottage, posted a photo on FB a few weeks ago of a WTE on the edge of the loch opposite her PO. It was being 'bombed' by a couple of hooded crows. Three days later she posted another photo.....16 WTE on the same spot.

West Norfolk: Sea eagles set to return to second area in England

The birds were first reintroduced in 2019, returning to the country for first time in 240 years.

Nice to see the reintroduction of WTE but I do wonder how welcome they will be by locals. A local Facebook group to me had a post about seeing a Red Kite and that she was worried they would take pets from gardens. Red Kites we’re reintroduced a few decades ago but we still have people who worry about issues that aren’t there. That’s social media driving hype and getting people worried hear odd comments.
