Sea Eagles snatch newborn lambs on Uist

A farmer captured the heartbreaking moment a newborn lamb was carried off by a sea eagle. Duncan Maclean, 40, was checking on his sheep , April 4, when he spotted three sea eagles - two clutching lambs in their talons. Duncan has already lost around six lambs to eagles this season - but this was the first time he witnessed them being carried off. The part-time farmer in Uist, Outer Hebrides, said: "It's very frustrating and disheartening to see" The sea eagles, or white-tailed eagles, have become more and more troublesome to rural Scottish farmers over the past few years, he said.
