Whilst out with clients walking to a more remote, less visited part of Mull yesterday, on the most perfect of autumnal days, I spotted two sea eagles perched on boulders on the shore. A third eagle appeared, all juveniles, and the three of them took it in turns attacking this adult otter. Sea eagles, more correctly known as white-tailed eagles, are well known to practice kleptoparasitism, the habit of stealing food from another species. I suspect that rather than seriously trying to kill this otter, they were just entertaining themselves. I am unsure if sea eagles have been witnessed hunting successfully as a team.
