Attached is a record shot of a white-tailed eagle (unfortunately I had the wrong lens on when we saw it and by the time I'd got to the car and changed it was on its way)! At the time and on the uncropped photo we did not see the second bird (to the left on the photo). Given that it is only noticeable when heavily cropped and it was a 300mm lens it was obviously a big bird. Any ideas from the limited info - another w-t eagle, golden eagle, or other?

It looks heavy billed so it's more than likely a White-tailed.
Chris - you can see the bill on the one in the background?

Sorry, but that second bird is impossible! - there's nothing to indicate whether it is at the same distance, closer, further, or much further, than the WTE. To me, it looks like a small bird (perhaps a wader?) flying in to mob the eagle.

Sorry Daily, I misread your post. I don't think the bird in the background is identifiable, although I get the 'feeling' that it could be a Pigeon.
