Today's Wildlife Encounter

[MattPo]

Dozens of both Grey and Commone Seals, unusually almost side by side, pair of White Tailed Eagles and a Juvenile Golden Eagle.

Those sightings required a boat admittedly.

Where? you lucky boy

Corryvreckan of all places for the White Tailed Eagles, both prowling the cliffs on the northern tip of Jura.

How very, very idyllic!!

Yes,
I've seen Sea Eagles there. They nest in the woods on the NE tip of Jura.

Aren't Ospreys brilliant! Just back from watching them at two locations in Mid Wales. The Dyfi circus and much finer at a nest near Clywedog reservoir. Much quieter and a better view. to see 5 different Ospreys in a day takes some beating. And best of all they are in running distance (and a lovely offroad route)from where we stay. They piss the fishermen off a bit - but so be it, get over it worm danglers.

Bad news - grough report that a peregrine Falcon was found shot in the Goyt Valley near the Erwood reservoir. Too much of this going on across Grouse moors. Goyt has a very bad record for this - who is the landowner?
