Tenga (Mull) White tailed fish eagle submitted by Energyman : We disturbed this eagle walking to Tenga stone circle, Isle of Mull, as it was trying to eat its rabbit lunch. It flew round us for 10 minutes, continually swooping on the corpse, but loosing its nerve at the last moment. (3 comments - Vote or comment on this photo)

Yes, the Canmore link states NM 5038 4632 which returns 56.542359 and -6.062237 which is very close to the meg port position, which I agreed with when I was there.

Tom, I don't recognise your picture of Tenga stone circle (the main one at top). The circle I went to is wholly on a marshy plain. Where are these rocks?
