Anyone know 'the story so far' ? I dont know enough about sea eagles to comment on whether they could be a danger or if its just scare mongering....but if they are anything like goldens then I wouldnt want to walk a dog in that area!!! I have seen 2 dogs killed by goldens...one a small terroier and the other a pointer Quote Link to post Share on other sites
wag 13 Posted January 10, 2009 Report Share Posted January 10, 2009 im at a meeting in march with most of the wildfowling clubs on the wash there will also be NATRUAL ENGLAND , RSPB , BASC, and many more ,i know there is alot of up rore with the local keepers too should be interesting . i can see it happing the RSPB have chucked 20 millon pound into the wash over the last few years also they are still looking for land around the wash to buy even if its 10 miles inland . there is a project they are on with now just up the road from were i live they have bought a 600 acre farm behind the sea wall and have really gone to town on it , i think that its great for our club because i have not seen so many ducks and geese about for years and they are staying and not moving on which is great .

Sako.243 1 Posted January 10, 2009 Report Share Posted January 10, 2009 Whats your opnion?? check links below.. Sea Eagles in norfolk.... for.. and those against..... A disaster waiting to happen!.. Anyone know 'the story so far' ? Not sure if you know or not but we have had some relised as below. "In August 2008, the second batch of Norwegian white-tailed (sea) eagles were released from a secret location in Fife, as part of a five year reintroduction project for the East Coast of Scotland. Fifteen birds were brought over to Scotland on 20 June, following the release of another 15 birds in 2007, the first year of the project. East Scotland Sea Eagles, a partnership between RSPB Scotland, Scottish Natural Heritage and Forestry Commission Scotland, is the third phase of a successful reintroduction programme which began on the island of Rum in 1975. The return of sea eagles to Mull, Skye and other parts of western Scotland has been one of the outstanding conservation success stories of recent times. The last native pair bred in Skye in 1916 and the species was then extinct in the British Isles. Persecution had driven the sea eagles (also known as white-tailed eagles) away from east Scotland much earlier, and by the mid 1800s, the birds were confined to wild and remote areas on Scotland's west coast. " Already they have attacked Swans at a local Loch and Public Nature Park near Dundee, They have also been hunting Geese on the local Montrose Basin, IMPO i dont think it will be long before these birds will attack a dog or even worse a small child. There were reports on the Scottish news every other day about these birds taking Lambs in the West Coast last year. They have relised these birds on the East Coast where this side of Scotland is to highly populated to cope with or sustain such a predetor. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Apparently the birds died of poisoning. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
