Holbeach area
White-tailed Eagle, 

The latest data shows the WTE has moved just over 4 miles south-east back to the area on the Wash near Holbeach St Matthews that it favoured before coming to Frampton. 

Yesterday it spent an hour at the mouth of the Welland between 11:00 and 12:00 before moving SW. The white arrow was 05:30 this morning. Not sure how accessible that area is, but if there is anyone local who can check it out then please do let them know. Information from Tim Mackrill from the Roy Dennis organisation
