Last time, I described my blindsimming visit to Ashdown Forest to see (ha!) a wild Eagle. I didn't see it of course but heard it and know now where to go. As my bird watching 'guide' was going away on holiday the next week, I decided to go myself and see it, which I did, after ringing him on his mobile to make sure he had gone. As I got his message reply service which (unusually) said he was unavailable until a certain date, I guessed it was reasonably clear for me to drive myself there (not blindsimming, of course) without any risk of him also deciding to go there again. So I did and found the car-park we had been to the previous week and, after a while, my trip there was rewarded. There were plenty of people there with binoculars and telescopes and it wasn't long before the eagle flew into view. It was a marvellous experience to see a wild eagle in our part of England and I watched it, fascinated, for some time. I have since heard that it did return to France, or somewhere else anyway, just the following week. No blindfolding news this week – sorry- but certainly some next week! Jane
