Some of you have asked for an update on the family of Green "T" and her mate Blue "9". The two chicks are doing fantastically well - Mum and Dad are still feeding them but the chicks can now also feed themselves, helping themselves to leftovers lying around the nest. The younger chick, only by a day or two, is turning out to be a bit of bully to its bigger sibling - and certainly makes sure it gets its fair share of the food.
I took a little film showing Mum feeding with Dad sat out to the right. This is the first time we have posted a video so fingers crossed it works!
Please note - filming at a white tailed eagle's nest requires a license from Scottish Natural Heritage

Anyone coming to Mull in the near future and interested in seeing this family, please call 07920 817362
Still lots to see at Loch Frisa including golden eagles, hen harrier, short eared owls, buzzards, peregrine, red throated diver and of course the regulars including the siskins, our whooper swan and the sand martins. Skye and Frisa put in an appearance when we least expect it much to the delight of our visitors.
Dont forget if you are coming to Mull, to book a trip to the famous eagle hide, call our friends at Craignure Visitor Centre on 01680 812556. More details here Mull Eagle Watch

lovely to see your video after seeing so many bald eagle chicks being fed, this was a lovely change.
Also was hoping for news of Kellan and whether Skye and Frisa's egg was fertile or not and what might of happened to it. (Sorry I am so demanding for news, but am so interested).

Thank you Debby, lovely video. For your info the link was posted on the wild life village blog
Thanks for the brilliant video, and I am wondering where this nest is, hoping it is near where we stay when visiting Mull. We had brilliant views of adults and young last year from the cottage in which we spent our holiday, so we're looking forward to a repeat performance later this year.
I am also wondering if you have gained any knowledge from the failed egg from Skye and Frisa's nest.
Regards to all like-minded people who enjoy and care for our wildlife.
Thank you Debby,big surprise to get a video.
Lovely video - looks like they chicks are doing really well. :-)
