If you want to see a golden eagle but can't get to the Highlands of Scotland, you could try Haweswater where a male displays in the hope of attracting a mate.

The reserve is always open; the viewpoint is open at all times but is only manned between April and August from 11 am-4 pm on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays, plus bank holidays.
