A whale was lunge-feeding on the far side of Loch Broom at midday today - once again seen from West Terrace.
As clouds threatening rain built up from the south-west I prepared to leave - and then caught sight of a white-tailed eagle above the ridge on the other side of the loch. The tail stood out well against the grey sky.
Yesterday, a tight knot of seabirds in a feeding frenzy near a whale suddenly rose into the air, and I saw among them the large dark shape of an eagle. It was distant, but I think it was a different individual from today's bird - and possibly immature.
