Outer Hebrides, May 2025 (3) - birds of prey

(Please click on images to view) 

 Short-eared Owls were a regular feature, in all suitable habitat (including by the hotel)
Hen Harriers were a treat - especially this pair at a nest site, where we witnessed this food pass (above)
We had plenty of great views of Golden Eagles, including pair-bonding and territorial skirmishes...

....while White-tailed Eagles were hard to avoid (especially problematic if you're a rabbit, lower left)
