Golden Eagle spotting in Ardnamurchan

golden_eagle_lg.jpgIf you're looking for something exciting to do this summer why not try some Golden Eagle spotting in the Scottish Highlands? A recent joint venture by the RSPB and Ardnamurchan Natural History Centre means you can witness Scotland's national birds feeding on a tasty deer carcass, via the power of some carefully positioned CCTV cameras.

There is also a new exhibition within the centre totally dedicated to these majestic birds, teaching us all about their breeding, feeding and conservation. The centre is already a draw for tourists in the area, serving delicious local food and teaching it's visitors about sustainability in the fragile Highlands, but this is guaranteed to bring more people in and give the area an economic boost. Obviously there is a chance to see Golden Eagles over the glens and hills in most parts of Scotland, but with a little help from the cameras you are more likely to see the birds up close and personal. A truly awe inspiring experience.
