Since these birds started to breed on Mull in the 1980s, white tailed eagles have brought a lot of visitors to the island. It is estimated that the island economy benefits by about £7,000,000 a year thanks to the eagles. The economy must be feeling the pinch this year, I have missed my planned visit in May.
An excellent way to see the birds is from a boat.
The skipper throws a few fish into the water and this attracts the gulls, which in turn attracts the eagles.
Taking photos is not easy as there are other people on the boat and the eagles are often on the other side of the boat,
