Thursday 2nd April

A bright but breezy morning.

Theo picked up his guests and headed straight for the sea lochs seeing a few Harbour Seals on the way and Fallow Deer in the woods.

There was a fine Red Deer stag up on the hill at the first stop and an adult WTE soared distantly over the hills. We spotted a dog Otter from the van on the shore so got out and watched it devouring a large Eel!, whilst 2 White-tailed Eagles were our fishing, 1 landed its catch and ate it out on the reef.

A short way further down an Otter and its cub were on a small patch of seaweed rolling around playing and preening., lovely views! At the next stop at a Golden Eagle territory, watching the nest in the scope, the female eventually got up out the nest and arranged the nest before settling back down to incubate, a good sign for this pair.

On our way back along the loch we watched yet another Otter fishing tight inshore. The final stop we had a great close flyby from an adult WTE and a Golden Eagle displayed over the hills behind. On our way back home we saw a few Buzzards enjoying the sun.
