White Tailed Sea Eagles, IOW

A further update from Roy Dennis, including information of the proposed reintroduction of these glorious birds into East Anglia.

I was just reading about the Norfolk introduction scheme Nellie. 

Great news but I might have to hold onto my Crab butty a bit harder soon.

Due to Covid restrictions, and possibly Brexit, the first birds are likely to be released in 2022, so your butties are safe for a while yet.

Perhaps the posts about the loss of a pair in Dorset should go on here.

Good idea Nellie, I've been reading on the BBC how far the IOW birds travel.

Why have they travelled so far? I expect those who decided to release them thought there was enough territory, food etc there. Doesnt seem as if though they bred succesfully hence forcing youngsters out. Could it be they were wrong and in todays age the food supply was not there to sustain reintroduction. Did the two die of starvation and not as elsewhere here hysterical calls they were shot by gamekeepers. Just putting the other side from someone who has not got his knowledge from sanitised TV programmes.

Maybe give all fish eating Birds a better chance by banning fun fishing. After all fisherfolk just want to play, most don’t need fish to survive. Every fish taken for ‘fun’ could sustain an animal of bird that needs the fish for its very survival, now that truly would be sustainable in the most perfect ecological way possible👍🏻

Another load of trollop. We fishermen looked after the Ospreys in Mid Wales long befire the RSPB turned them into a cash crop. Likewise the Scottish and English birds rely on stocked fisheries for their survival. We fishermen pay for their food through our fishing permits which is a lot more than the snipers here do.

Why have they travelled so far? Because they can, they're big birds and they're capable of long distance flying but they also return to the IOW. This was the press release I read from last year >HERE<

Also read the RSPB web site about their conservation in Scotland etc. Unfortunately if you don't read up the details you can be tempted to make things up as you go along. 

I believe the IOW was chosen as a good area for sea fishing, Bass and Grey Mullet are quoted. I don't think fishing by humans is going to affect supplies. However I do think the IOW is much too close to urban connurbations so I'm on the fence about that idea.

Fish, have you considered just having a discussion rather than attacking & name calling, you don’t suffer infantile name calling to you🤷🏻‍♂️. If you struggle interacting with folk then just don’t interact👍🏻
