The Isle of Skye 2010
After trying to get a picture of a "Sea" White Tailed Eagle for nearly all of my
holiday. A picture happened a once in a life time shot! A Sea Eagle with a Golden
Eagle in the same sky and together having a little set to with each other. The
quality of the picture is not great but using a 500mm on full stretch and the
birds being so high this picture is a tight crop. The best at the time and as a
judge would say a record picture and maybe not the best lol ( I was there and it
made me happy watching the Golden Eagle on and off for over an hour) A Link can
be found below.
