Hello all. As some of you know, I'm wildlife mad. I got back from a wildlife holiday in Mull yesterday and I have a few snaps to share with you...well more than a few! :lol:
I will post up the birds first and then the other animals on the second page. I hope you all like otters and red deer! :lol:
Hooded Crows are one of my favourite birds They are just brilliant.
The reason this place is called "Eagle Island". This stunner was perched in a tree some distance away (hence why it is quite grainy) but very visible from the road. This is an adult White Tailed Eagle, as you can see from just how pale the head is.
This one is a male bird, he flew over us from his nest site to a boat that gives him a fish. Apparently he's the only eagle to do this on Mull and has been following the same boat for years back when the captain was a fisherman. The Eagle used to follow him and take the fish guts that he threw over board! I find it quite nice that they have this relationship still! When I go back, I hope to go on the boat and see this magnificent bird taking the fish from the water. It must be amazing to watch, what with them having an over 8ft wingspan!!
I saw many Golden Eagles too but since they fly so high in the mountains, it was impossible to photograph them. I must admit I don't know which I prefer..the Goldies or the White Tails!
This is probably my best shot of the holiday. I know it's only a Grey Heron but it is very sharp and clear. The only pic that is since the weather was so bad! :roll:
Lapwing showing his/her colours beautifully!
This is a Snipe, I love these quirky little birds! They look so funny. :lol:
My little friend. She kept following me about and cheeping at me. I nearly stood on her when she decided it was a good idea to go to sleep on the path to the cabin! :roll: She was only a baby and I just hope she gains some more sense otherwise she won't last long!
