It's been a busy week with Tours, the last two days giving 7 Golden Eagle and 4 Sea Eagle sightings, although all were rather distant.
Today things got even better. A Sea Eagle, coasting along the Sea Cliff 10 minutes out from Portree, gave great views as it landed on a peak.
Then behind us a Golden Eagle put on a display before rocketing onto what must have been a kill behind a small rise. A short while later 4 Sea Eagles together, albeit distant.
Terns are now back on the island in numbers, unfortunately the Skuas gave us a fleeting glimpse - pretty sure they were Long-Tailed but I didn't get a good enough look.
3 impressive and close Sea Eagles (a great tip-off from Bob . . . thanks).
Our day ended with a beautiful walk to Neist in the sunshine with Puffins and Great Skuas to enjoy amongst many other birds, and a last Sea Eagle which only I will claim as it was a few miles off!
