Take-off

A tagged sea eagle takes off from the shore below the Ormsaigbeg road....

...and flies off westwards along the coast.

A few steps further along the road, a buzzard takes off from a tree....

....and flies off in the same direction as the eagle.

Winter always seems the best time of year to see the raptors, and this winter, for all its perverse weather, has been no different. In the last few weeks we've seen sea and golden eagles, buzzards, kestrels and sparrow hawks.
