Golden Eagle Nest at Glentanar

For my birthday, I was given a 7-hour hide photography session at Glentanar. I have done this once before, so I knew what I was getting into. 7 hours in a small hide, not allowed to get out, not able to stand up, is quite an experience, but worth every second! I met with the ranger at 3pm, and arrived at the hide, by landrover and on foot, just before 4pm. I got settled in, got the tripod set up and this is one of the first shots I took. 400mm zoom lens and no editing. I was delighted to see the chick so clearly, and I knew that there was another one tucked away on the right. I'm going to be a bore and post a series of photos of my experience, so this is no. 1! I hope you enjoy sharing my day out, even just a little bit! :-)
Wow, this is amazing!

So well camouflaged. Took me a bit to find the nest and chick. Seven hours with not moving? Wow...dedication!

Terrific gift and terrific experience. Good to do while young when you can still move after the experience. Absolutely love the image of the chick. I have never seen one so young so looking forward to your photos.

Incredibile experience! I never heard about it before, but that’s because you live in such a natural environment, while I have always lived in cities. Great capture of the chicks! Fav

7 hours in a hide is quite some time. I don't think I could do it without getting claustrophobic and needing a natural break !!! Super photo though !

A brilliant present & one that is perfect for you but no moving for seven hours….you have to have a good bladder for that!
