Last recorded attempt to revive white-tailed eagles in the Lake District was in 1787 .

It follows successful reintroductions in Scotland , Ireland and Isle of Wight .

Consultation has been launched about the proposed revival of the birds in Cumbria .

But the project has caused concern among farmers - with the National Sheep Association meeting with project leaders yesterday .

It is the last known breeding site of the species in southern England and is located close to highly suitable foraging areas in the Solent and surrounding estuaries. It also has numerous potential nesting sites in woods and cliffs and quiet areas for immature birds. And it is well positioned to facilitate the dispersal of eagles both west and east along the coast to sites such as Poole Harbour in Dorset and Pagham Harbour in West Sussex ..
