126 WHITE-TAILED EAGLE 
Ballaugh Glen (and again in February 1882). Mr, Kermode 
continues that ‘the species was seen by other observers 
in different parts of the island.” Mr. Crellin mentions 
another report of a Golden Eagle, observed in the neigh- 
bourhood of Glen Moar, Sulby, in 1893 or 1894 (Y. L. M, 
ii. 204). 
It can hardly be that all these persons were in error as 
to the presence of an Eagle, and there is nothing improbable 
in the stray occurrence of the Golden Eagle here, but as no 
specimen was obtained, and in the lack of details to render 
discrimination undoubted, the species must for the present 
be bracketed. The old records of the breeding of Eagles, 
some of which may possibly refer to this species, are 
treated under the next. 
The Golden Eagle, now nearly extinct in Ireland, bred 
within the earlier half of last century in Antrim, Down, 
and Donegal. A specimen taken from the last eyrie in 
Galloway about 1850 has only recently died. The species 
is now in the highest degree rare, and occasional in north- 
western England, and it is perhaps uncertain whether any 
formerly recorded nesting place of Eagles in that district 
belonged to it. In the Outer Hebrides, as in the Highlands 
of Scotland, it still breeds. In Orkney it became extinct 
about 1850, and is not known to have nested in Shetland. |
