In haste, as I need to get up there to check all is well today, but Frisa and Skye have successfully hatched young at Loch Frisa this year! They are right on schedule and so far, all seems ok. At least two rabbits have been taken in as food and Frisa has been tenderly feeding tiny morsels to the chick(s). We hope there are two but time will tell. A big thank you to all the local Mull Eagle Watch volunteers, Strathclyde Police, Air Cadets and visitors who have kept an eye on things for us over the last 38 long days and nights. We still have a very long way to go - 12 weeks in the nest in fact - but it's a great start to the season at the Eagle Hide.

I just wanted to share this breaking news story with you and I will give a full update later. Got to dash.......................

  • Can I just echo Dave's thanks to everyone involved in Eagle Watch - its just fantastic that so many people, from all walks of life come together to protect these fantastic birds. We are just over the moon at the great news of the hatchings for Skye and Frisa and our pair that were disturbed last year - those of you who have been to the Hide and seen these magnificent birds will share in our excitement and joy. If you haven't been to the hide, come and see us - there are two ranger led trips a day, one at 10.00am and 1.00pm - to book called our friends at Sealife Surveys on 01688 302038. Fingers crossed for the rest of our birds.
