Findhorn Valley
Digiscoped Golden Eagle
Three Eagles together
Eagle Spotters
Red Deer Stag
After a great morning watching the Ptarmigan it was off to the Findhorn Valley for a bit of Eagle watching, or so we hoped. Parking in the same position as we did on the first day we only had to wait around twenty minutes until we picked up over first Golden Eagle on the top of one of the ridges. We watched as he flew around the ridge top occasionally settling allowing us some better views.
We then picked up two adult birds and a juvenile all flying together straight in front of us. My poor digiscoped shots don't do justice to what I was watching. Later in the session I picked up a juvenile bird that came over the ridge and soared downwards hunting for prey. The backdrop made the bird look totally amazing. I must have watched this bird for 3-4 minutes in the scope before finally it went out of view.
This was a fantastic experience and it was great to see such amazing views of a bird I've wanted to see since being very young. I've embedded a stunning video showing these superb birds in flight.
