Golden Eagle Nest at Glen Tanar (3)

Almost exactly an hour after I'd been in the hide, at 16h49 precisely, dad swooped in and stayed for 30 seconds! Blink and you missed him, but I was focused. I noticed he was tagged, and asked the rangers about him afterwards. They confirmed it was the male. He flew off having dropped a piece of fresh red meat for the chicks. Their reaction was comical and is to follow ... tomorrow.
Amazing...

Fab shot - is the tag down his back rather than on the feet?

Fabulous capture. Amazing how technology now enables us to study the flight of birds.

@christinav Yes, the male has an electronic tag on its back. The female is ringed on the foot, seemingly.
