After nearly being wiped out from illegal killing, the return of the white-tailed eagle to England has made the bird one of the most coveted sights for birdwatchers throughout the country. Yet to catch sight of the majestic eagle is still exceedingly rare.

That’s why it was such a happy surprise when British birdwatcher Paul Ash spotted the rare white-tailed eagle flying overhead one day. His companion at the time, Martyn Rooney, managed to snap a few photos to memorialize the amazing encounter.
