Czar moves on.

It is with much regret that in October last year we said goodbye to Czar our Steppe Eagle. Although he flew in the land around the park after the visitors had left and also on land at the nearby village of Herringfleet he never really adjusted to the public visting the centre.

We are very sad to see him leave and hope that he really has the chance to stretch his wings.

Good Luck Czar in your new home!
