A farmer captured the heartbreaking moment a newborn lamb was carried off by a sea eagle.
Duncan Maclean, 40, was checking on his sheep this morning (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, Scotland, said: "It's very frustrating and disheartening to see.
"We knew it had been happening because we notice the missing lambs but actually seeing it made me angry."
