That is sad, Golden eagles are majestic birds. That was the last one in England and Im sure it must have been exciting to watch it among the mountains and valleys in what must be the most gloriously scenic area of England. . A sad loss indeed.
We still have many breeding pairs in N/W Scotland I wonder if they could introduce a chick or two from those to the Lake District in an attempt to encourage breeding there.
Hope so

I too K, such majestic birds, like many other raptors, they have such an insignificant impact on us humans and yet cruelly persecuted by the few

I'm taking a positive spin on the story. I'm hoping that this tragic news is a catalyst for change. Great work is currently being done in Scotland to boost their numbers and I'm hoping that those successes will hopefully allow the population to once again flood across the border into England, much like the pine marten has recently translocated from Wales to Shropshire.
