Monday 29th September

Weather: Rainy morning but eventually cleared into light cloud but always a chilly autumn day.

Highlights of both tours today starting with White-tailed eagles eating a fish on an offshore skerry before flying low overhead and down to their usually perching trees. Further down Theo saw an adult White-tailed Eagle sat on an island in the rain, a Golden Eagle headed fast over the hills and Black Guillemots offshore. Klay watched a White-eagle over the hills and an Otter was also out fishing, Klay had 2 Golden Eagles over the hills with Buzzards and Kestrels also around. Theo watched a large Otter cub rolling around preening on an offshore rock, further down a few Fallow deer were in the woods and over lunch he watched an Adult White-tailed Eagle on its usual offshore island before it headed off hunting.

Both groups watched another adult White-tailed eagle perched in the spruce trees before heading for moorland areas where we saw a distant Juv White-tailed Eagle, lots of Stonechats, a juvenile Hen Harrier quartering the hills and the real excitement came from the Red Deer with 2 big stags roaring at each other and briefly giving chase!

Theo's day finished with a dog Otter preening on an spit giving great scope views..
