7 Day Nature Photo Challenge: The Sea Eagles of Mull



This is Day 4 of my 7 Day Nature Photo Challenge which I was nominated for by Tom Hodgetts of Skye Walks and Photography.

A visit to the Isle of Mull is not complete without seeing a White Tailed Sea Eagle soaring above the island.  Normally you only see them from a distance and sometimes you may see them perched at the top of a tree, but on our last visit to the Island in May 2013 we saw a pair of Sea Eagles really up close and it was one of the memorable encounters that will be imprinted in my memory.

A Sea Eagle is a big bird with a wingspan approximately 8 feet wide.  We went out on a Mull Charters boat trip  and we were treated to a fantastic display by a pair of wild birds as they circled the boat hoping for some easy pickings for lunch from the crew.

This shot was taken on a Nikon D800 and Sigma 50-500 f4/f6.3 lens as the bird swooped in low across the top of the boat.
