About the video: “Guess who's not coming to dinner? The uninvited guest on this occasion is an adult White-tailed Eagle, which has spied an opportunity to indulge in a spot of kleptoparasitism. Don't blink or you might just miss the impact. Putting yourself in a position to be lucky brings obvious rewards on an island as wildlife-rich as Mull.” Source: Youtube, mullmagic
White-tailed Eagle diet: "The species is a versatile hunter (...). It is opportunistic in its search for food (...) and thus it may be a predator, scavenger, and kleptoparasite that eats fish, water birds, mammals, and carrion."

Why have so many photos disappeared from the LK forum? Why do you see an information about "3rd party hosting" instead?
