Yesterday’s White-tailed Eagles:- I enquired of Robin Reid, RSPB Conservation Officer for the Outer Hebrides, as to whether the 8 flying together were more than usual. He wrote to say that there have been 11 together in Pairc (SE Lewis) where they are at the highest density in the Outer Hebrides. On Mull there have been into the teens coming into roost together.
