Tour Scotland Travel Video White Tailed Sea Eagle Scottish Highlands



Tour Scotland travel video Blog of a white tailed sea eagle flying above the Scottish Highlands of Scotland. The white tailed eagle, also known as the sea eagle, is the largest bird of prey in the UK and the fourth largest eagle in the world. It has brown body plumage with a conspicuously pale head and neck which can be almost white in older birds, and the tail feathers of adults are white. In flight it has massive long, broad wings with fingered' ends. Its head protrudes and it has a short, wedge shaped tail. They are versatile and opportunistic hunters and carrion feeders, sometimes pirating food from other birds and even otters. They eat largely fish, but also take various birds, rabbits and hares.
