A spokesperson said: “She is unlikely to be a threat to the ecological balance in the area, no more so than any other avian predator, such as falcons or buzzards, or a fox. We will keep an eye on wildlife in the area as part of our routine checks and keep in contact with Wild Zoological Park.”

“It’s important that members of the public remember she is a wild animal and should be treated as such; with respect and admiration from a distance.”

Visitors have taken to social media to share their sightings of the “majestic” bird which caught the eye of local wildlife content creator James Cook.

“It’s a very imposing, impressive thing to see. I was in awe,” he told the BBC.

The 31-year-old from Leamington Spa added: “I’ve seen them in South Africa and spoke to a couple of people who said that it’s been here for about three years on and off.

“After a quick search, there it was, sitting in the tree looking all majestic and glorious.”
