The white-tailed eagle was last seen in 1780 and a long project has been successful in reintroducing them into the English wild.
The white-tailed eagle, the largest bird of prey seen in the U.K., has been seen in flight in England for the first time in over two centuries.
A small number of eagles were taken from Scotland, where they had already been reintroduced into the environment, by the Roy Dennis Wildlife Foundation and Forestry England and placed on the Isle of Wight. They have since been seen in Norfolk, Kent and Somerset.The hopes are that the bird, which has a white-feathered tail, pale head and yellow bill, will come to breed on the Isle of Wight and rebuild the population of the species.
"There's totally not any risk to humans. Sheep farmers are worried and we're talking to them. We've had no cases of any problems. There's such a lot of wild food."
