Wildlife enthusiasts have been given a rare glimpse of sea eagle chicks taking to the skies for the first time – directly under their noses.

In what is thought to be a first for Scotland, birdwatchers on the Island of Mull were treated to the sight of two white-tailed eagles taking wing after leaving their nest.

This breeding season, an adult pair of sea eagles became the first to nest and rear two chicks within view of Forestry and Land Scotland’s (FLS) nature hide at Fishnish.
