Finally, the sighting which has eluded me for far too long. Mara and Brèagha up together and flying strongly. Chasing each other, attempting to talon grapple and generally just doing what sea eagles do best. A wonderful sight to behold!

Frisa and Skye, as ever, watching their offspring carefully from afar. Perhaps as relieved as I am to see that the chicks have finally rediscovered their family ties and are spending quality time together, revelling in the warm sun and gentle uplifting breeze. Summer's here and the livin' is easy.

The two Mull Eagle Watch sea eagle chicks at Loch Frisa this year have been named by children from the Salen Primary School Gaelic Unit. The male 'Mara' means 'sea' and the female 'Brèagha' means 'beauty' - very appropriate too.

  • Hi David, Lovely blog, it must be really fantastic to have followed these fabulous birds and now see them fully fledged and flying together. I am up in the Highlands, only a few miles from LG and the Ospreys so we have been blooging there all summer and following the anxious moments of the Ospreys EJ,OVS Nethy and Deshar as they raised their family. I have never had an opportunity to visit the Mull Eagles but hope to next year in the spring. Sounds like you have fine weather in Mull, good news for the youngsters as they hone their flying skills.I have them locked into Google earth so look forward to following their journeys. Nethy and Deshar left LG yesterday and are now heading south albeit Deshar had a slight (70 mile!) detour out into the north sea...Dahhhh He is now following his sister thank goodness. Your blogs on this site are brilliant, thank you for all the information and hope to meet you next year. Question, do you stay there all year round???
