    What wildlife did you spot today?

    A sea eagle flew above the house this morning. All the geese scarpered and I expected the eagle to move on since there was nothing to interest it, I was so sure it was about to leave that I stubbornly didn't go inside to get binoculars. In fact it circled and glided for 15 minutes, the sun...
