I'm delightred this stunning bird has had (is enjoying) such success in Scotland, They truly are a sight to behold! So beautiful...

Agree totally with martinmedeski.I Live in Essex and have been fortunate enough to see a juvenile both in Norfolk and one passing over my head by sher luck in my home town .These farmers are mis-guided and instead of trying to stop the re-introduction of these stunning birds maybe they should concentrate on the noise that Apache Helicopters make when they fly over their livestock.

where i live in Suffolk (east england) the RSPB are trying to reintroduce sea eagles also. Local farmers aren't up for it and there are No To Sea Eagles signs everywhere. Personally i'd love to have these birds flying around.

Also went to Mull to see them, first spotted one on top of a tree beside a small loch, watched it at close range and it eventually flew right over my head at maybe 20 meters above, was lucky enough to see them on a few different occassions and different days. i was just mesmerised by its size and the width of it's wings. Also saw Golden Eagles on that same trip, and the Sea Eagle at close range was the highlight.

awesome

[andyfergy]

Wow they're amazing, but why are people trying to poison them??

[GoldfinchGarden]

Awesome bird

Have you seen the petition against poisoning eagles in Eire, on The Golden Eagle Trust website? Sea-eagles were reintroduced to Scotland after centuries of persecution eradicated them there. They are being poisoned again in Scotland (law-suit in progress). Eagles of both sorts reintroduced from Scotland (and Norway) are poisoned in Ireland. Help to change this barbaric way of thinking and please sign the petition and spread the word. Thanks on behalf of these magnificent birds.

i never even knew sea eagles were re-introduced to scotland until i saw 1 at blairdrummond safari a few weeks ago and i read about them. i was amazed by them, the size of them was unbelievable - twice the size of a golden eagle. wish you got them in ayrshire

The Eagles generated 6 million for tourism on the isle of mull last year thats how huge the birds are to conservation. ive just got back from Mull and to see the birds was a fantastic sight

[sandend123]

A pleasure to watch

Many thanks...how about a few more.

[Mewxx]

Brilliant! Thank you so much. Magnificent birds that deserve our respect. Can't believe that in this day and age there are people in the UK who are illegally persecuting them again. Smearing fence-posts with poisoned bait in 21st-century Scotland?! Is it not time the rest of 'humanity' stood up and said "Enough"?

beatonskye or you a farmer

[drodga]

Remarkable! And what a great conversation success story. I'm yet to see these beautiful and massive birds in Scotland but I hope I will!

[beatonskye]

They were hunted to extinction for a reason. They're a pest, killing lambs on Skye by the hundred. The sooner they become extinct again the better.

[missy2584]

What a naive comment to make! "Killing lambs by the hundred"... I think not! These birds are one of the few incredible sights left in Scotland.

[missy2584]

That was incredible footage

[FreaksInRaincoats013]

great we went to see the eagles in aug,the hoilday in skye was the best we have had
