BIRD lovers have the chance to watch a pair of sea eagles, one of Britain's rarest birds, online.

Nest cameras, set up by the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds Scotland (www.rspb.org.uk) in partnership with other bodies, will beam live pictures of direct from their eyrie on the Isle of Mull.

The birds are among just 25 pairs of white-tailed sea eagles living in Britain.

Many of them nest on Mull where they are often the subject of deliberate poisoning cases and are targeted by egg collectors.

The scheme will allow the birds to be monitored at all times, as well as allow people who can not get to Scotland to see these magnificent birds in the "wild".
