Mull - White tailed Eagle

My annual fix of trying to get decent White-tailed Eagle images aboard 'Lady Jane' with Martin of Mull Charters resulted in a motley assortment. A mixture of cloud and blue sky with the male Eagle coming out of the sun is never easy to work with but here goes....

The approach.....




Banking into descent......


zooming in....


For such a large bird, the ease of that dramatic sideways 'flip' takes some believing!




The pick up.....




And then  the moment when you realise even 300mm is too much reach!


My favourite images from the same bird circling the boat ......



If you've not done this before and you're on Mull,  it's a 'must do' and if you've done it before why not try it again!
