<p>Here is a shot of a white-tailed sea eagle taken from a small boat in the rain off the Island of Mull in Scotland. The white-tailed eagle died out in the UK but a couple of decades ago it was re-introduced from populations in Norway and is now fairly well established in this remote area.. It was a great thrill to see such a large bird (8 feet wingspan) and watch it swoop down to grab a fish from the sea<em>.</em></p><div>00cMTG-545287684.jpg.83603a1b556058f4b472b2bf773460f0.jpg</div>

<p>Colin, that must have been an impressive sight. How exciting!</p>

<p>The snowy had many "expressions" in the few close-ups that I got, ranging from "let me go" to juvenile goof. Overall he seemed calm, but that may have been attributed to the care of the individual handling him. </p>

<p>Jim, I'll be very happy to see the Polar Vortex head back to the pole and out of the weather forecast. </p>

<p>The beautiful images here are such a treat to see each week.</p>
