White-tailed Eagle "white L" in Angus

The worst photo here takes top billing because it's a White-tailed Eagle immature with wing tags white L. It was seen by an ADBC member who saw it fly from a field into the distant trees. The photo was taken from the road 270m away so as not to disturb the bird so other people might see it.

The other photos were all taken from the Tayock Hide at Montrose Basin on a day with good light which coincided with the tide bringing the birds up with it.

White-tailed Eagle, honest! Other photos clearly showed the wing tags "white L"
