    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

    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 😂

    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 ….

    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 👍

    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.

    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.

    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

    • @alasdairmackenzie905
      @alasdairmackenzie905 3 дня назад

      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.

    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?
