\n The charity also explains on its website that these birds became extinct in the UK in the early 20th century due to illegal killing and today\u2019s population descends from reintroduced eagles.\n<\/p>\n
\n Mrs Hooper described seeing the birds sat on a piece of wood on a sandbank spreading their wings and enjoying the warmth of the sun in the south west.\n<\/p>\n
\n She added the birds were “a lot bigger than the other birds in the harbour”.\n<\/p>\n
\n “I always get goosebumps when I see the eagles!\u00a0\n<\/p>\n
\n “Amazing birds and lucky to see them in Dorset.”\n<\/p>\n
