Hello everyone
Just a short update to let you know that with Frisa and Skye settled, we open the hide today for trips which you can book on to by calling 01688 302 038. Or visit our Date with Nature web page on this site. There was some concern yesterday when two adult sea eagles were seen high up in the clouds above the nest site. But it turned out not to be Frisa and Skye but another pair who are clearly not settled yet and still wandering. We just hope they don't stick around and disrupt the breeding attempt at Loch Frisa as has happend in the past.
Meanwhile, Breagha has spread her vast wings at last and headed north to Canna where we hope she is looked after well by our friends in the National Trust for Scotland. And Mara was last recorded still here in central Mull but I have a feeling it won't be long before he too starts wandering. Keep an eye on the map...
Very sorry to hear the news about Nethy but, ever the optimist, I'll join many of you and just hope her sat tag has fallen off and that she continues to fish and enjoy the sun in west Africa.
A fuller update will follow when we get ourselves organised with trips to the hide. Until next time...

Thanks Dave for the update about Frisa and Skye being settled at long last. So hope they won't be diturbed now so they can get down to business. Goodto hear about Mara and Breagha too. Hopefully Mara will start her wandering soon as well. I think all the followers of Nethy will be hoping that is just the loss of the tag, it would be a shame if she has gone after making the tremendou journey she made.
