Great conditions, and fantastic to get the pictures of the eagle.

The zoomed Cuillin shot shows Gars-bheinn at the southern end of the ridge, with Sgurr nan Eag with its head in the clouds.

Nice one. Ive seen an inversion similar to that in the same area (Loch Arkaig / Loch Lochy) a few times but never got pictures as good as these. Cheers :D
