Take a deep breath!! Large Eagle species flying north over Middle Soar at 0915 and putting up 330 Golden Plover. Viewed from just under a mile way at East Soar Farm and in poor light. Very dark bird with powering flight heading north and obvious protruding neck & head. No gliding. Short tail. Broad eagle-like wings. Immediate thoughts were White-tailed Eagle and looking at Forsman could well be but can't be certain. Hopefully someone else will see the bird across the UK, will contact Bird Guides & BTO.
Thoughts welcome!!
