Thanks Ian for this confirmation. Thanks to Mike too. I have reported my sighting on the Roy Dennis web site.

John I saw juvinile sea eagle yesterday on the farm (twice) near Combe St Nichlas so almost certainly the same bird

Contact Roy Dennis foundation & they can confirm if any of isle of wight birds are in area

Just had a tantalising view of a bird (in head-on silhoutte against the clouds), which I first took to be a Buzzard but, as it approached, I revised upwards to a Heron. Finally I didn’t know what it was, but it looked Eagle sized. Location: Bishopswood on the Blackdowns. It departed towards the south. Could it have been a White-Tailed Eagle?
