Hi,
My wife and I will be spending three days in Isle of Skye just after Christmas. Please could someone advise us of what birds to look out for and where. Thanks in advance.

Thanks Mark, That is very informative indeed. What are the chances of seeing a white tailed sea eagle at this time of the year?

They're resident on Skye, Thom, so keep looking up when you're close to the rocky coast...........

Hi Thom at North End of Island @1.5 miles east of Fairy Bridge (A850 Dunvegan to Portree) park up and view southward over Wind Turbine Farm, gives excellent viewpoint and I regularly see both eagle species and other raptors.
