Ahead of the sighting, Judi opened up about her previous experiences of seeing an eagle, telling the 33-year-old Countryfile star: “We were on a back road, I was driving and I looked up and there was an eagle. I said to my daughter.” Finty: “You look at the road, I look at the eagle.” I was driving, shameful, isn’t it?”

Judi was overwhelmed by this and said: “I was able to see one and you are witness to me seeing it… How breathtaking, I am very overwhelmed… it’s an enormous privilege, isn’t it? [think]. How often does someone see this? Not very often.”

Hamza replied: “There are few people in Britain who can claim to have seen a golden eagle in the wild… and to have exhibited some pretty impressive behavior.”

Judi replied: “How brilliant. And I can keep that.” [the video] and show it? I never thought it would happen. [I believed] Well, let’s go out and look around. They won’t [appear]…we saw them…thank you very much.”
