This is the UK400 Club Rare Bird Alert for Friday 30th November 2007, issued at 2100 hours, and published in association with Rare Bird Alert Pagers (www.rarebirdalert.com) and utilising information gleaned from the Regional Birdlines, Birdguides, websites, local email groups and individual observers. All Irish rare bird news is by kind courtesy of John Coveney and BINS.

The highlight once again is the juvenile WHITE-TAILED SEA EAGLE in Hampshire, frequenting the Cholderton area, and observed in flight several times today. The bird is marked with four rings, an orange over blue on the left leg denoting its age (born in 2007) and a white over black on its right leg (denoting country of origin). Bjorn Helander, a senior scientist at the Swedish Museum of Natural History and a co-ordinator of the White-tailed Sea Eagle colour-ringing programme, very kindly informed me that this bird was born and ringed in Finland or Sweden this July and would shortly supply me with full details.
