Very nice surprise on my lunchtime walk just outside Poole Town Centre today!! 🦅
Hearing the local gulls going mad is a sure fire way of knowing there’s a bird of prey around. Our staff member @brittanymaxted.bsky.social was out walking on Baiter just now, heard the gulls going nuts, looked up….just a White-tailed Eagle cruising over!!! How times have changed

The Osprey suffered extensive historical declines throughout Western Europe due to human persecution, and has been slow to recolonise following greater protections due to high rates of natal philopatry and conspecific attraction.
