2009 10th July one
chick at Loch Frisa found dead at the bottom of the tree nest. It fledged
too early at 10.5 weeks (usually 12 weeks) The other chick fledged successfully.
This years chicks from Loch
Ba and Glen Selisdeir have been radio tagged
2008 The
Lochdon/Grasspoint birds have failed this year. The birds were disturbed
early on in their breeding cycle and this might have something to do with
the failiure as the adult birds were kept off the nest for a period
of hours whilst the person disturbing them, (a visiting photographer) took
photographs from underneath the nest, of both the adult birds in the
air.
All very disappointing
for those who have spent time on eaglewatch this year, the birds have not
been wing tagged this year.

Good
views of White tailed Sea Eagles can be had from many areas on the island,
and a circular route from Salen to Loch na Keal round to Loch Scridain
and through Glen More, back to Craignure will provide plenty of opportunities
to see both Golden Eagles and White tailed Sea Eagles. Scarisdale
Rocks in Loch na Keal is another favorite place, these birds can sit around
for hours on the rocks provided they are not disturbed.Scan any and all
of the hills for Golden Eagles which can be seen in most areas.
