After many years trying to get a picture of a White-tailed eagle in this country I managed to get a few yesterday, taken off the back of a boat on Loch Na Keal on the Isle of Mull.
Fish were thrown over the side to bring the birds closer.

Super image - the face and beak look like they might take some more sharpening.

It's a bonus you can't see the wing tags either

Well at least we now know it's possible to get a shot this good without resorting to a grand trip north with KLM.

First rate eagle shot John, caught at just about the right moment, and the chop on the water just adds to the image atmosphere.

Grand job...........
