Armchair Eagle

Common sense has finally prevailed with the extremely belated acceptance of the BOOTED EAGLE that roamed Ireland and South West England in 1999/2000.

I connected with this magnificent Bird at Drift Reservoir on 31st October 1999. I've always considered it a "Wild Bird" and immediately put it on my Personal List.

I know many Birders make their own decisions regarding adding Species to their List/s. As already stated I have added rejected records to my Personal Lists BUT I do adhere to the Official List...and my Bubo Badge reflects this.

I'm of an age now where it doesn't really matter either way! I just choose when I want to travel and for what.

Sadly, I have less commitments at home now...
