Well we are halfway through the season! Hard to imagine that it’s already been three months since the day that Mull Eagle Watch opened. The chick at this stage is nine weeks old. So we should hopefully be witnessing the chick regularly flapping its newly formed wings… measuring up to 2 meters! Absolutely incredible. We […]

The last few weeks have been without a doubt the most interesting so far here at Mull Eagle Watch! Last week we had the crew here on Mull ringing all the chicks. So far we have 14 chicks between 22 breeding pairs on the island. The resident pair Scalla and Anna have raised their chick […]

So we are 10 weeks into the season and we have had many incredible sights of the pair of resident eagles Scalla and Anna (or Scallana) here at Craignure golf club soaring through the sky perched together proudly on the old Scots Pine. We have noticed an exponential growth with the adorable young eaglet. The […]

After a very stressful week last week, I think an update on our beautiful birds is in order! The weather conditions were perfect which was good news for our little chick. We can now confirm there is one little fluffy head in the nest! Anyone any ideas for a name? While everything has been perfect […]

With sights of soaring beautiful white tailed eagles, often seen perched on a nearby tree top and nearby coastal rocks. We have been witnessing the continuous brooding of the egg, predominantly by the wonderful Anna. Scalla has been seen regularly out at sea or across the sound of Mull…or even soaring along the nearby mountain […]

So after a wonderful start to the season the weather is dry as anything, the sun is shining and we’re here on Craignure Golf Course living la vida loca alongside the pair of resident eagles Scalla and Anna. So far on our journey we are still in incubation stage and it is about two weeks […]

The sun has been shining steadily every single day, the clouds have been soft and gentle giving some incredible sights! The […]

3rd November 2018 My goodness, it has been the most challenging season for Mull Eagle Watch! We’ve had some great highs and way too many lows but still, we managed to salvage the season and end with some fantastic and well-deserved news. Here is a summary of the key events that occurred this summer. The […]

15th October 2018 In 2010, MEW watched as sea eagle pair, Fingal and Iona, raised a chick. The female was named Shelly after Glen Seilisdeir, the valley in which the birds reside on the Isle of Mull. Shelly was fitted with a satellite tag which was designed to track her movements. Disappointingly, after only three […]

2nd September 2018 We were spolit with eagle action last Thursday at West Ardhu! Hope arrived with a measly portion of food but, instead of dropping it in the nest, she perched underneath Misak to eat it herself, despite the incessant calling from the hungry chick. Ulva, appeared at the same time but, realising the […]
