„White tailed eagle on the Isle of Mull Scotland“

from the gallery of mbk-wildlife-photography
Description:

This magnificent bird is the White Tailed Eagle (Haliaeetus albicilla).
This is the largest bird in the UK and one of less than 100 in Britain.
It has a wingspan of more than 8 feet and is similar in size the the American Bald Eagle. They are also known as the Sea Eagle and primarily feed on fish, but will take lambs and any other creature unfortunate to be spotted by these huge predators!
This photograph was taken on the Scottish Isle of Mull on the West Coast and one of the very few places you can find them.
The sheer cliffs of Granite, sporadically covered with Grass and Heather provide the rugged natural background
A truly awe inspiring example of wildlife to encounter!!
