White tailed eagle over Winterton!!!

Being a new birder what a grip this was!!!!!

Phone call arrived at 5pm Sunday, and we rushed straight off to highest ground to get an all round view, and lo and behold about ten minutes after arriving and lots of phone calls to friends , there it was ,amazing sight, huge,with two gulls chasing it!!they looked like little pinpricks in size!!It headed south along the coast and then we saw it turn inland and it seemed to land, as we lost sight and it was quite low, we guessed it would head towards a body of water so we opted for Ormesby and Rollesby Broad, then headed for Filby, to then receive a call that it was headed for Breydon, but it didnt like the look of Breydon, too open no cover for roosting maybe, so it then went to Mautby, we were told!!But we were satisfied, we had seen it!!yey!!!

The next day at our volunteers task I well and truly gripped them all, somebody had to do it!!!!!
