The last item on the BBC1 TV lunchtime news was a story from Wales, of a sea eagle being sighted on a farm there. Apparently sea eagles aren’t normally found in Wales. There was some short video of it flying above the farm – it was raining at the time, what are the chances? – and the BBC newsreader ended the piece with:

It’s a mystery how the eagle arrived in Wales.

Well, let’s review the most likely options, shall we? I suggest they are that the bird walked or arrived by road, rail, or air. My theory is that the bird flew to Wales, but I’m no expert on sea eagles.
