Nick and his wife Dianna Williams were out on a walk on the morning of January 31 when they spotted two white tailed eagles above them.
The pair from Ringwood were walking along Hengistbury Head, near the coastguard station, when the birds flew over.
Nick described them as ‘such things of beauty’, also commenting on their wingspan of around 2.5 metres.
He said: “White tailed eagles have recently been re-introduced to the south coast after a gap of 250 years .
“My only previous sighting of one of these magnificent birds was in Poole harbour whilst on a Birds of Poole harbour boat trip- I would definitely recommend these boat trips.”
Nick said that their spot on January 31 was the first time they’d seen a white tailed eagle at Hengistbury Head.
He said: “It was the first time we have seen a white tailed eagle, let alone 2, at Hengistbury Head . We were by the coastguard station when we spotted them heading towards us from the Poole direction.
“The people manning the coastguard station were also really excited, as it was the first time they had seen these magnificent birds.”
