Just got back from Whitton Lincs. got there to find the Eagle had flown off North 20 mins earlier. We stood there for an hour in the vain hope it would come back. Luckily i picked it up flying East over North shore of the Humber and we tracked it for about 10 mins until lost to view. Distant views but a result given how close we were to packing in.

Hello Marc
Went over for the Eagle same night as yourself. I rang Blacktoft Sands first for more info, they told me to "go to Witton village and view from there". No good. After a while I managed to get Grid reference for the bird, so I headed to Alkborough village, all to no avail. I didn't see any other birder, I was obviously in the wrong place! Where exactly were you, just out of interest?
Cheers,
