He did a big circuit of Sutherland and southern Caithness

April 12th to 22nd

107 was at Coignafearn on 5th to 10th April and then on 10th – 11th April to The Moine west of Tongue on north coast of Sutherland. He then moved east to the Flow Country of North Sutherland and Caithness

March 26th to April 12th

107 did a big circuit of Loch Shin on 10th and then north to Morven in Caith ness at 2pm on 11th but straight back south to the Loch Buidhe area north of Bonar Bridge. He ranged around here until 18th and then flew north to Ben Klibreck and then to Strathbrora.

Later I received an email from Kevin Cuthbert who had a camera trap on  carrion west of Loch Buidhe and quickly managed to work out it was 107.  Kevin’s photo was taken at 5.46pm on 17th and the GPS for 6pm showed 107 circling over the exact spot.  Kevin said there’s mist on the lens of the camera but it’s great to get one of our tagged eagles photographed by a camera trap. These new techniques are going to teach us new things about eagles.

Ranging of 107 during January to December 2012

This map shows the extent of wandering during 2012 by eagle 107 – something like a range of 9,300 square km

107’s transmitter needs some sun to charge up but non GPS signals showed he was in Strathnaver on 18th January and had flown south to be in the glen woodlands west of Evanton on evening of 22nd January
