Just WoW !
Hi Dan, great video once again, reminds me of my trip to Lewis and Harris several years back when we found a pair of nesting Golden Eagles on a cliff not far from the road. A fantastic sight. The western isles are a fabulous group of islands with such amazing views and diversity of wildlife. I look forward to what you find next. Thanks again for such entertaining videos. Regards Andy
Another cracker mate. The look on your face when there were 6 in the sky! 👌🏻
an Epic video Dan Im back from Rhodes so will meet up when im sorted have u revisited the owls recently
What an amazing video pal I could feel the excitement, definitely got to get up there next year 👍🏻
Superb Dan! I have only visited the Western Isles once many years ago but your video brought back some memories, not least the stunning beaches of Harris (especially Luskentyre) 🙂 I think you got a bit excited there with your “flock” of eagles 😂and your lapse into addressing us all as "guys" 😂 I can’t be sure from your footage but you may possibly have had both White-tailed Eagles and Golden Eagles. It certainly wasn’t a single family group of 2 adults and 4 juveniles since eagles usually only have 1 or 2 young. Harris is a stronghold for both eagle species like Mull although the latter is much quicker and cheaper to reach! Where is part 3? …. we are all "eagerly" waiting! .... sorry 😂
Excellent sightings Dan, nice to see the red deer in the wild and great scenic stills of the birds.
We visit the outer Hebrides at least once or twice a year. The scenery is breathtaking and the wildlife is amazing. Great to see your enthusiasm for the islands, be careful tho, they'll steal your heart.
For water rail pics, try the Willow hide at WWT Slimbridge November to March 👍
Dan, I absolutely love that you take us into the field. Your enthusiasm is infectious! I’m fairly new, so it would be helpful for me to see your exposures. I’m always try to learn. I do appreciate you sharing your knowledge on the wildlife subjects! Great stuff! Thanks!!
That was awesome! Such a great trip. I take a lot of pictures from my vehicle like that. They don't seem to mind so much. Thanks for sharing your great adventure with me!
Fantastic Dan.
Hi Dan …. I thought you would be back in school by now 😂 Excellent photography and tips as usual but I must take issue with your complaint that it is “a bit of a slog to get up to Scotland”. Just have some sympathy for those of us that start our journey to the Highlands and Islands from south Essex! Tip …. RSPB Mersehead is superb in winter with the large flocks of Barnacle Geese as is nearby WWT Caerlaverock. Like you, I have visited Girgin Farm many times over the years (plus other Red Kite sites in mid-Wales) but Bellymack Hill Farm looks superb. It is now on the “to visit” list along with other locations inspired by your videos .... thank you 🙂 I am now off to watch part 2 ….
Dan, great video as always. I love your enthusiasm and excitement when you spot a subject to photograph and video. Your enthusiasm is contagious!!!
Young red deer are calves not kids. It was an amazing vid .😊😊😊
I hate this video. Absolutely despise it. And let me tell you why. It’s made me reallse that I say “guys” a lot when I’m doing any camera stuff and I too hate it when other people do it. So that’s my reason. 😂😂 I mean, how could I dislike the rest of this - it’s another absolute gem of a video mate. Best compliment I can give you is that you make us feel like we’re there with you. Just brilliant…! 10 crocs out of 10 mate.
Another great vid Dan - loved your enthusiasm. We did Lewis and Harris this year, had a week in a cottage, and super easy to get out and about from that one base. We saw eagles every single day on Lewis / Harris - seems to be a great strong hold for them. Can't wait to see the rest of your Scottish adventures 👍
Fantastic fotie of the gannet just before it enters the water 😀😀. I did laugh at you nearly peeing your pants with excitement though 😂
Thank you for sharing a beautiful and wonderful video. I hope you have a lot of good things this week.
Yet another fantastic video Dan. 6 white tails at the one time is utterly incredible - probably all this year's youngsters who've been kicked out by the adults and are hanging about in a gang before dispersing off to find their own territories. Got to get myself back up there soon.Thanks for all the hard work you put into these.
This is such an informative and helpful video! Thank you very much! There were a tat too many ads for my taste but I understand their necessity for you. I wish you all the best and hope to get to Scotland next year myself. Greetings from Berlin!
Great video Dan. Some great wildlife and that beach at the beginning...I live on a tropical island and it looked like the breeches here.. Surprised to see it in the U.K. Well done mate👍
Super mate, put a smile on my face seeing how excited you were!!!! Great stuff.
Stunning stills and video Dan and Pops, very alert to catch the flight departure stills! 👏
Great film Dan. Living the dream.
Never been to Lewis and Harris. What was the name of the campsite you went to when you got off the ferry? The colour of the sea and sand, just beautiful. 6 eagles!! We've never seen one! You're selling Lewis and Harris, that's for sure. Oh wow, deer as well. You are being spoilt.
Brilliant mate. Now you can see why I want to move South (6 degrees in August!!)
Another superb video Dan ! Ps eagles only have 1 or 2 young
Really enjoyed this Dan and looking forward to next week’s as I too have a workshop booked with Rob in a few weeks.
Hello Dan, Super interesting as I am going up to Harris soon. My first time there too. Was thinking of just doing landscapes/seascapes using my X2D and not taking any of me Nikon kit. But now I will have to take both. Just more to take :(.
Thanks
Thanks very much Julian I appreciate your generosity and support 👍🏻
Brilliant mate.
Hreat video again Dan. Seeing your excitment of seeing the eagles reminded me of how I felt when we first drove through glencoe on our honeymoon going on day out to Loch Ness. Many of my dreams came true that year. Getting married to my soul mate, seeing glencoe, staying at Loch Earnhead in Loch Lomond, seeing Golden eagles flying overhead and waking up to a magnificent view every morning. Then 2 years later coming upclose and personal to a white tailed fish eagle and then Orla, the beautiful golden eagle at Loch Lomond Bird of prey centre, best experiences ever. Now I want to go to Harris and Lewis, but want to visit Skye first on the way
Hi Dan, it would be a Loch that the divers were on as only one lake in Scotland, the Lake of Menteith in the Stirling area. Great video by the way 👍
That was just superb Dan, always love your tour videos. Having been to Mull always wanted to explore Lewis and Harris and your video has made it a must and it was only day 1! Fantastic stuff. 👍👍
Fantastic dan
Dan another brilliant film - your joy and enthusiasm when you saw the Eagles makes me want to dump work and head up to the islands - thank you for sharing your ‘moments’ with us
Love Harris, I’ve seen so many Cuckoos
Wow. How lucky are you. We were on the outer Hebrides a few years ago and hardly saw any wildlife. So great though when it happens. Going to Mull next week in search of otters. Any suggestions on where to go?
I'm up there next week too. Those of us who know of otter "hotspots" are bound by an informal code not to reveal therm publicly to avoid too many people congregating at them but there are otters around almost all of the island's coastline so chose your vantage point and wait, and wait and wait, taking in the golden and white tailed eagles as you do.
Wow Dan what a trip so jealous. Look how excited you are, that was great to see that's a red letter day for sure.
Great video ....not too jealous yet....we only seen 3 white tailed eagles in 11 days there in May at about the same distance...would disagree that you need a camper van...we got a cottage just over the lewis border and could reach anywhere with in 90 minutes
Cracking vlog dan
Just Wow!
Huge thanks!
Awesome, Dan ! Told you it was a special place ❤️
100% brilliant beautiful work as normal dan.
Absolutely brilliant video with the 6 w t eagles can’t wait for the next one 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Hi Dan! When we were on Skye a number of years ago, I saw 7 Golden Eagles in the air all at once! We were told that they were Juveniles that'd be kicked out of the nest by the adults and were just hanging around together before they headed off to find their own territories. Safety in numbers I suppose. They're a sight to behold though, aren't they?
Wow!! Those eagles really are sensational. Just wondering if you're jumper is official or available to buy? Thanks lad
Thanks
Thank you 🙏🏻
