I see at least one almost every day. Sometimes they fly around outside my window. I will often see four or five at a time.

I saw two today- one really close up as it flew through the woods near Victoria Garesfield.

Gloat. Gloat.Gloat.

Am I rubbing it in???

You could see all the markings on the one I saw today- I nearly overcooked a bend because I was looking at it.

I got an even better view of that one than the one which swooped directly over the car over a week ago.

But then, we are going to Mull next month. Golden eagles, white-tailed sea eagles, otters, puffins ... ;-)
