Since our juvenile white-tailed eagle, Orion, fledged at Mull Eagle Watch, Glen Seilisdeir, I have been leading walks to the nest and beyond in search of the birds. Some days we get distant views of the adults and juvenile flying, some days we don't see any eagles at all, but some days we get really close-up sightings of the birds sitting in their favourite tree roosts. One such day occurred just over a week ago, when our visitors were treated to excellent views of the two adults, Iona and Fingal, perched in trees just above where we were standing. Luckily, one of those visitors was Chris Wilson with his camera and long lens, and Chris was generous enough to share some of his photos with us. Not only was he lucky to get such pictures, but then, after he had left, he got another great shot of one of the adults catching a large flat fish in the bay below the wood.
The walks at Mull Eagle Watch are continuing this week, but they may be the last for the year. Keep in touch via the blogs and tweets or by calling the Craignure Visitor Information Centre on 01680 812556.
