  • Tilly in Scotland

    Tilly in Scotland

    Tilly and I had a wonderful time filming up in Scotland at Tillys favourite place away from home, the beautiful Carrick Castle Estate in Argyll.

    Weather conditions were very kind to us over the week, only one rainy day, and ideal strength winds made it easy for her to soar over the landscape, so cameraman Rod Clarke & producer Joe Tuck were able to get all the shots needed for their project, Tilly really enjoyed herself, and did some breathtaking flying, and at nearly twenty years old now, she has become a very experienced and accomplished flyer.

    Thanks to Darius & Hannah Mellet, for making us so welcome as always, and the use of the amazing Hagglund all terrain vehicle, to get us and all the kit to the best spots for Tilly and the filming.

    Golden Eagle 360 shoot in Scotland

    Tilly our nineteen year old female Golden Eagle has just filmed some groundbreaking footage, myself and Camera specialist Chris Watts travelled up to the beautiful Carrick Castle Estate in Argyll, where Tilly has flown many times over the past nineteen years, to test a new 360 on board camera for Chinese camera company Insta 360, the weather was very kind to us, stunning blue skies and good thermals for Tilly to soar on, the camera worked superbly, Tilly soared to an altitude of 4650ft, getting stunning images of herself and the landscape, and even managed to film herself air to air with a wild male Golden Eagle, something no one has ever achieved before.

    We are really looking forward to seeing the finished footage when it is put together and out online soon, she is such a special bird, a real free spirit on the mountain, and such a strong flyer, we love the fact that it is what she has filmed herself, with no influence from me what so ever, just doing what comes naturally to her, she often stops on a crag for a little preen and  a rest, it is so interesting to get such a high quality view into her world that would otherwise be impossible.
