SS15 wildlife watching

This blog was set up in mid-March 2020 during the emerging COVID-19 health crisis in the UK. It initially aimed to provide records of wildlife sightings and photographs from sites within walking distance of my home in the SS15 postcode area of Basildon in Essex during lockdown travel restrictions. Even though the pandemic has largely subsided, this blog continues to include my local wildlife sightings, my trips away from home plus some personal thoughts and reflections on other issues.

White-tailed Eagle "on tour" in Essex (again)

I have previously expressed my wish to see a White-tailed Eagle over my local patch sites .... see here.

The immature birds from the Isle of Wight reintroduction project have a habit of going "on tour" around the country and one ventured over to Essex in September 2019 .... see here.

Now another bird has found Essex to its liking albeit briefly and its GPS tag located its flight yesterday.

It could have done the decent thing and had a slightly more westerly trajectory and flown over SS15.

One day I will be rewarded.
