Yep….another grim grey day, brightened up however with the news that male White-tailed Eagle, G461 arrived back into the harbour. A sea eagle was seen flying from Round Island around midday, and some corresponding with the Roy Dennis Wildlife Foundation provided the info we needed to confirm it was him. He hasn’t been present for around a month now, but it’s great that he’s now back and once again checking out some of his old haunts. Lets see how long he stays here for now. Hopefully indefinitely! There was a single Cattle Egret in the Frome Valley, viewed from the Bog Lane loop walk and the 3 Tundra Bean Geese were still in fields next to Long Meadow Lane, Creekmoor. Off Jerry’s there were 3 Scaup, 2 Great Northern Diver, 3 Common Scoter and 18 Red-breasted Merganser with a Merlin also dashing across Brands Bay. In Middlebere there were 27 Spoonbill, 3 Spotted Redshank and c600 Avocet.
