"When you're in my backyard, when you're in my town, trying to wreck our property and our peace, people will tell you, it's a hard 'no'," says Ms Roberson.

Their resurgence is thanks to the work of the South of Scotland Golden Eagle Project (SSGEP), set up when the population in the region had dropped to a mere handful.Since 2018, SSGEP has successfully translocated 28 juveniles, collected at six to eight weeks of age, and 15 sub-adult golden eagles between four months and three years from the Scottish Highlands.

SSGEP chair Michael Clarke said: "Thanks to our satellite tagging, we can confirm that some are beginning to venture into Northumberland and further afield and these sightings reaffirm the importance of us extending our groundbreaking work."The birds have also visited the North Pennines and the Lake District, even travelling as far as the Forest of Bowland in Lancashire and Nidderdale in Yorkshire."While it is too early to say if they are settling in these areas, it is a potentially exciting and significant milestone," Mr Clarke said.

Golden eagles were wiped out in England and Wales by the mid-19th Century, mainly due to persecution by those who saw them as a threat to livestock or game birds.Despite a brief return following the two world wars, when driven shoots largely ceased, numbers gradually declined again with the last resident golden eagle in England

The UK's remaining population was then largely confined to the Scottish Highlands and Islands, particularly in remote, mountainous regions.

Dr Cat Barlow, CEO of the charity Restoring Upland Nature, which has taken SSGEP under its wing, said it is not surprising to the birds "exploring in England".South Africa's police minister was forced to visit to try to bring calm, with protests from Afrikaners mirrored by claims from some members of the local black community of mistreatment by white farmers.

Amid it all, Mr Collyer tells me that despite the misleading use of the video of his family's memorial, he is pleased that President Trump is highlighting attacks on white farmers."The whole procession was to raise international media coverage of the whole thing," he reflects. "And for them to understand what we're actually going through and the lives that we have to live here at the moment in South Africa.

"A person has to go into a house before dark, you're living behind electric fences. That's the life we're living at the moment and you don't want to live a life like that."His fears would chime with many, of all races, in a country which suffered more than 26,000 murders last year. The vast majority of victims are black, according to security experts.
