one of my biggest adrenaline rushes was my first meeting with a white-tailed sea eagle. These things are huge, and to watch them hunt and get the shots was a checked box on my bucket list.

Wow thats an amazing picture !
I have had a few holidays in the Scottish Highlands and while driving the coastal road near the summer isles saw a white-tailed sea eagle sitting on some rocks very close to the road I stopped the car but it spooked him and it flew over our car the wingspan had to be at least 7 to 8 feet its the biggest bird I have ever seen I would not have believed a bird could be so big if I had not seen it with my own eyes
I have stayed in Ullapool a few times and the wildlife is amazing (apart from the midges at certain times of the year that is )

Thanks, guys for your comments, very kind. I used to do a lot of wildlife photography on the west coast of Scotland, with the White Tails being the star attraction. These birds were re introduced in the early 80's from Norway onto the isle of Rum. For some reason, they didn't take to it and went across to Mull. The numbers have slowly increased to around 120 pairs and can be spotted right across Scotland onto the east coast. Some great news for once, a magnificent creature known as the flying barn door with a wing span up to 8ft.
And here is my last one, A red stag night shot taken from a trail cam setup using a magboob lighting rig. Enjoy.

ANOTHER awesome photograph ! I was fishing in Spain on the Ebro and had lots of birds of prey screeching above us and it would echo around the cliffs
every now and then one would come down like a missile in front of us and fly off with a fish they were Peregrine falcons I never managed a picture but saw this amazing picture on the net

Success to me is getting that mid week switch off from my stressful, not spoling family plans for the weekend by doing it, and catching a few along the way!

Thanks Dom, I used to, but I stopped selling photography services this year. Covid along with degenerating discs in my back put paid to it I'm afraid. I do tick along though whilst out and about, or I try to

just getting over the lake fishing or not is success for me. Fishing is second to family and a good group of friends

Some cracking pictures there again mate
Seen quite a few golden eagles over the years, like you, lover of the west coast, simply stunning, spent a lot of time up there as a kid, been on most of the islands too. Not seen many sea eagles though. Saw a golden eagle take a rabbit a couple of years ago, out on the mountain bike on Islay, flew straight across in front of me and took it, amazing to see!
Closet I have come to red dear was in the Kentmere valley, just off high street in the lakes, walking a path and two full grown stags came straight down the path and thankfully took a left in front of me down the hill, impressive creatures, I was a bit twitchy too I will tell you!
Out of interest, have you seen any Orca, would love to see those!
Loch Lomond this bank holiday weekend for me, spinning rod too

Just look at the stunning beauty of that fantastically graceful creature. Simply Incredible.
That's one thing that many of us anglers have in common, I think we all adore wildlife and nature. It's certainly a massive part of it for me.
