white tailed eagle

Taken on Isle of Mull on a miserable wet, cold day. We went on a boat trip and it poured down so she was lucky to get this through the rain.

Having been to Mull in January last year, and seeing WTE and Goldens from a great distance, we decided to go back last August for the summer weather. Ha! There's a great Scots word to describe the weather, which is "dreich"! ("Drei" rhymes with tree, and then the...

Taken from the Isle of Mull during our visit in May this year. We saw at least 5 different pairs of these spectacular birds of prey.

I was lucky enough to have this young eagle fly straight towards me on a recent outing with the camera.

This white tailed eagle noticed us at the last minute as he was flying past us while we lay hidden waiting for shore birds, he must have heard the sound of our shutters firing.

After feeding on the channel between the lochs, Fingal flew right across the marsh and past me in my car. Got so close!

Returning to base with lunch.

When the rains came, I used to like to park up near a local stream where it met the loch, as there were often waders and small birds around. Opening the window to stop the car misting up, I heard something familiar, and scanning the trees nearby, spotted this, sat calling out. I managed to get...

One of the (many) reasons I love renting a cottage overlooking a loch is for what you might see over it, at any given moment. Here, we watched Fingal, one of the local white-tailed eagles out hunting one morning, chasing gannets, searching the sea weed and worrying the local wildfowl.

Didn't quite catch the moment of pick up.

This female WTE was taken in Loch Na Keal from Mull Charters boat, Lady Jayne & was fishing before returning to her nest (location totally unknown).

Taken on a recent vacation to the Isle of Mull, we had 2 of these magnificent birds above us and coming in for prey. One of our better days to remember on the Isle.

After taking the free fish from the boat trip, the eagle battled the strong winds to return to the shelter of the tall trees, to perhaps share the "catch" with the youngsters.

Lucky to get close to this huge raptor. the bird floated right over our heads as we stood in awe!

One day last spring I got up 3 in the morning and drove to the national reserve "Store Mosse". This is the largest mire area in southern Sweden, of about 8000 hectares. I arrived there before dawn and walked in the darkness to a research hide very close to a feeding spot for wild eagles in this...

One of many White Tailed Eagles I saw in eastern Hokkaido. They like to perch on the concrete tetrapods and are fairly easy to approach.........
