Sorry for the delay in updating things for you. It's just that time of year...
It's been a long day and the eyelids are drooping so just for now, here's today's busy headlines. One day on Mull in 10 bullet points.
TGIF.
ps if Debby's still awake and wants to add some great pics from the Eagle Hide trip today or anything else, I think this blog could do with some illustrations! Debby?
Goodnight.

Sunday update:
Frisa & Skye relocated; all seems well with them. Getting ready...
Brief view of a bird I suspect was Breagha very close to Frisa & Skye's chosen nest site. Interesting that she seems to be 'coming home' at this time of year. We'll see what the sat tag data says shortly.
Stronger signal and then finally a sighting of Kellan flying well in his new area a mile or so from where he was released and has spent the last few months. Last seen late afternoon perched high in a conifer before flying out of site to the south east. Weather was atrocious; very cold with torrential freezing sleet. He looked ok and flew strongly though I suspect he hasn't fed in a few days. This will be one of his biggest tests yet. Finally he is doing what young sea eagles are meant to do. Spreading his very slightly wonky wings and venturing forth. As comedian Dave Allen used to say: "...may your God go with you..."
