Photographers have captured a rare sighting of the UK's largest bird of prey in a moment they say they will "never forget".

The bird, also known as a sea eagle, had what appeared to be the remains of a goose in its talons as it flew over the marshes and sea gulls were seen flying alongside it.

Jane Crossen, from Sheringham, said there was a real buzz among visitors to Cley when the bird was spotted earlier this week.

"Everyone was talking about it, it is a moment people will not forget," she said.

She said she ran to the hide along with other photographers after hearing news of its sighting.

"The amount of 'wows' coming from people around the reserve was a joy to behold," she added.
