\n 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.\n<\/p>\n
\n The pair from Ringwood were walking along Hengistbury Head, near the coastguard station, when the birds flew over.\n<\/p>\n
\n Nick described them as ‘such things of beauty’, also commenting on their wingspan of around 2.5 metres.\n<\/p>\n
\n He said: “White tailed eagles have recently been re-introduced to the south coast after a gap of 250 years .\n<\/p>\n
\n “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.”\n<\/p>\n
\n Nick said that their spot on January 31 was the first time they’d seen a white tailed eagle at Hengistbury Head.\n<\/p>\n
\n 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.\n<\/p>\n
\n “The people manning the coastguard station were also really excited, as it was the first time they had seen these magnificent birds.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Nick and his wife Dianna Williams were out on a walk on the morning of January 31 when…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":403919,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[26],"tags":[90,56,54,55,4407],"class_list":["post-403918","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-wildlife","tag-science","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom","tag-wildlife"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/403918","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=403918"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/403918\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/403919"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=403918"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=403918"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=403918"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
