White-tailed Eagle

Today was definitely a case of right place, right time. Whilst I was idly scanning the sky for raptors from the front garden just before midday, a White-tailed Eagle suddenly appeared quite low coming in from the north, causing the local gulls to kick off. It gave great views almost directly overhead for several minutes before gaining height and drifting east. Looking at the plumage it appears to be a 2nd calendar year individual, probably originating from the Isle of Wight reintroduction project (and clearly a younger bird to the one that showed up at Powderham in January)
