    Great vid with good tips on the waypoints to keep us right. Really in awe of your steady hand when zooming in to film the birds. It's alot harder than you make it look! Now subscribed to you so look forward to going through more of your vids for our ongoing munro bagging. Thanks

      Thank you very much! Yes i do my best but i do get lost time to time and fall on my ......ahem also ha ha! Yes a very steady hand is needed when filming birds the first eagle was away in the far distance and the second was more or less on top of me i was very lucky that day to see it close up :) Take care and stay safe, peter :)

    Looked a great day out Peter. Amazing to meet Cameron I think I must have read his Munro book a 100 times, great to have a natter with him. Stunning footage of the eagle, those barn door wings are something, only seen one close up on Stob a'Choire Mheadhoin and never forgot the sheer size of them. As always enjoyed tagging along bud.

Buzzards have smaller wingspan en rounded wings, flaps gently, while the Golden eagle (twice seen north of Drumnadrochit =A833= and the other one was east of Fort Augustus in the Monadliath range) has larger wings and longer fingertips.

And you are correct it is a great walk, Reminds me of Meall Chuaich on the other side of the A9 near Dalwhinnie. Thanks for taking time to watch and comment, peter.

      The four Munros in The Monadhliath range sadly live in the shadows of the High Cairngorms the other side of the A9. They are wild and bleak but amazing in their own right. Hopefully you might bump into Cameron as he is a legend in the Hillwalking game very down to earth and approachable and his knowledge of Scottish mountains is endless.

    I thought the views from the top looked pretty good! I like hazy views. And that eagle! I'm not sure if the first bird was an eagle and I'm certainly no expert, but the second bird looked like a big beautiful eagle to me.
    I admire the way you get your videos uploaded so quickly. I take ages doing mine. I'm just back from a crazy trip camping at Glen Nevis. Did the Ring of Steall on Friday, the Aonachs on Sat and the Easain hills on Sunday. I only filmed one of the days. I'm a wreck today! It was pure greed - I saw three sunny days in a row and just couldn't let them go to waste!

    I’ve abandoned my old digital camera as it’s too heavy and the auto focus is shocking so I keep recording unusable footage.
