Is there a collective name for Eagles..?

comes from "AWE god they been at me chickens again"

The end of the croft has access to saltings and some of my ducks would often go over the fence to freedom,  we sometimes get a visit from sea Eagles ( once every couple of months) and one day I saw a SE repeatedly try to grab one off the surface and every time it got close the khaki cambell would dive under, I went back for the camera but it was gone, the duck was fine,

Lovely sight i should think IG. I've only even seen single birds. Not a cloud in the sky!

I googled the collective noun for eagles and it came up with "convocation". You learn something new everyday.

 

Thanks for that also means general gathering of humans as well !  have you had a visit of a GE down in Norfolk..?  I know you get most birds down there sooner or later, I dont want to give the impression that Im always seeing eagles, it is a rare thing, which makes seeing seven at the same time special. We have had an outbreak of mixy lately so maybe they have been taking advantage of that
