Local estate owners were concerned about them eating wading birds and pheasants... I can't quite put my finger why, but it feels like one of these two reasons might have been made up.

☹️

And as for farmers being concerned about them taking pigs! It takes more than a two-metre wingspan to get a Gloucester Old Spot off the ground.

Hmm. There is a large estate nearby with form for raptor persecution, whilst at the same time advocating exotic animal conservation and "earthshots". Wonder if they had a word?

Pigs? It's horses, man, HORSES!!

Sure it starts with pigs... but that's the thin end of the wedge and they get the taste. In a matter of days they'll take one horse in each talon and off on the wing to their Erie high in the cliffs above Blakeney.

Careful, you will end up in the Tower!

Look here. Everyone knows that Eagles mainly live off dunlin. And babies. 

Now I'm sure that estate is merely unlucky and nefarious types are sneaking onto it to commit wildlife crime. Just like a certain ardent conservationist who now lives in the USA, who was unlucky enough to be the only known person (with his pal) hunting near where 2 hen harriers were seen to be blasted out of the sky!
