Golden Eagle: 2 calling and sky-diving above Treshnish wood
December 5
Golden Eagle: 2 adults and 1 juvenile at above Ensay-Burg road and a later an adult hunting above Treshnish wood. This bird dived with talons extended into the field by Ensay Burn presumably after a rabbit. It landed on the fence by the road (it looked old; no gold on the nape and an overall greyish appearance) and then flew above the wood and was joined by another adult, which then landed on a conifer. A little later one was skydiving over Treshnish wood. This is the first time I have seen one on a fence or tree.
