UK's largest bird of prey returns to English skies for first time in 240 years

The white-tailed eagle became extinct in England 
early in the 20th century due to illegal killing, 
but now these birds, which spend hours perched on 
a lookout before soaring to high altitudes, have made a comeback

White-tailed eagles disappeared from English 
skies in 1780, but held on in Scotland until 
1916. Now these birds, which spend hours perched 
on a lookout before soaring to high altitudes, have made a comeback of late.
Also known as the fish eagle, they are the UKs 
largest bird of prey with a wingspan of up to 2.5 
metres. They became extinct here early in the 
20th century due to illegal killing.
But thanks to Forestry England and the Roy Dennis 
Wildlife Foundation, who are leading a project to 
reintroduce them, releasing a group on the Isle 
of Wight last year, they may become a more 
frequent sighting in the skies near you.  They 
are currently GPS tracking four young birds 
making their first big trips. During winter, they 
were sedentary, but with better 
<https://www.mirror.co.uk/all-about/weather>weather 
they have flown from their nests to Somerset, 
Kent and Norfolk. Two brave birds, G318 and G393, 
have flown up as far north as Yorkshire  to 
roost.  Campaigners are appealing to people for 
sightings and photos. The birds have black-ridged 
tails, a hooked yellow beak and golden eyes with yellow legs and talons.
Evidence from the Netherlands, where there is a 
small but growing population of white-tailed 
eagles, shows that the species will readily nest 
in densely populated areas, close to people.
As a generalist predator, an animal that thrives 
in a wide variety of environments and scavenges 
on dead animals, white-tailed eagles favour fish 
in spring/summer, with water birds in 
autumn/winter, but also take rabbits and hares.

Birds of prey become victims of crime -

<https://www.channel4.com/news/by/alex-thomson>Alex Thomson Chief Correspondent
Theyre some of the most magnificent birds seen 
in British skies but birds of prey, like the hen 
harrier, are increasingly the victims of crime  
shot and poisoned in some cases to the brink of 
extinction. - But residents in one village have 
had enough, as the grouse shooting industry finds 
itself under pressure to stamp out illegal 
killings. And a warning there are distressing 
images of dead animals throughout this report.

Raptor Persecution in the Forest of Bowland - a 
video interview with Terry Pickford

https://raptorpolitics.org.uk/2019/09/22/raptor-peresecution-in-the-forest-of-bowland-a-video-interview-with-terry-pickford/
Terry Pickford a founder member of the North West 
Raptor Group (1967), provides his views in the 
attached video of the ongoing raptor persecution 
taking place throughout Lancashires Forest of 
Bowland. Terry points out that the persecution of 
raptors in his opinion is currently much worse 
now than it was 40 years ago. Many followers will 
be astounded to learn that since 2006 Peregrine 
nesting pairs in the Forest of Bowland have been 
reduced from 18 to a single breeding pair, with 
many breeding territories completely destroyed 
making their future use impossible. No one will 
be surprised to learn both the Peregrine and Hen 
Harrier are now being forcibly restricted from 
settling to breed on all of Bowlands privately 
owned shooting estates, being contained to one 
estate owned by United Utilities Plc.

"And I think, in the end, that is the best definition of journalism I 
have heard; to challenge authority - all authority - especially so 
when governments and politicians take us to war, when they have 
decided that they will kill and others will die. "
--Robert Fisk

'From South America, where payment must be made with subtlety, the 
Bormann organization has made a substantial contribution. It has 
drawn many of the brightest Jewish businessmen into a participatory 
role in the development of many of its corporations, and many of 
these Jews share their prosperity most generously with Israel. If 
their proposals are sound, they are even provided with a specially 
dispensed venture capital fund. I spoke with one Jewish businessmen 
in Hartford, Connecticut. He had arrived there quite unknown several 
years before our conversation, but with Bormann money as his 
leverage. Today he is more than a millionaire, a quiet leader in the 
community with a certain share of his profits earmarked as always for 
his venture capital benefactors. This has taken place in many other 
instances across America and demonstrates how Bormann's people 
operate in the contemporary commercial world, in contrast to the 
fanciful nonsense with which Nazis are described in so much "literature."

So much emphasis is placed on select Jewish participation in Bormann 
companies that when Adolf Eichmann was seized and taken to Tel Aviv 
to stand trial, it produced a shock wave in the Jewish and German 
communities of Buenos Aires. Jewish leaders informed the Israeli 
authorities in no uncertain terms that this must never happen again 
because a repetition would permanently rupture relations with the 
Germans of Latin America, as well as with the Bormann organization, 
and cut off the flow of Jewish money to Israel. It never happened 
again, and the pursuit of Bormann quieted down at the request of 
these Jewish leaders. He is residing in an Argentinian safe haven, 
protected by the most efficient German infrastructure in history as 
well as by all those whose prosperity depends on his well-being.'
