Eagle and Raven are considered love birds here in Alaska... the native art is Eagle and Ravens together... that was truly an amazing sight

[@walkingwithnature3767]

That looked a gorgeous walk! 100% a Juv. White Tailed Eagle. Very rectangle shaped wings and a wedge shaped tail! Golden Eagles has longer slender tails. Hope that helps ❤❤

[@barbaradionne7768]

You’re going to laugh at this. When I first glanced at Willie’s backpack at the start of the walk, I thought the walking poles were a set of bagpipes! I know…..they don’t really look like bagpipes but I really thought “OMG, Willie has learned the bagpipes and he’s going to play at the top of the mountain.” Anyway, thanks for the wonderful vid. 😊❤️🇨🇦

[@sandiandgregh]

Cake, scenery, a raptor, art, Jack Spaniels and a guest appearance from Richard. It’s another classic Skye Life video.

[@helenbub8345]

You go for a “walk” and you see a gallery, a cake stall, an eagle and the most beautiful, amazing, stunning scenery ever!!!! Thank you both for sharing and of course Jack Spaniel is the star over everything 😂❤

[@heathermurray9939]

There is a new school teacher who has moved to Skye, I commented on her post about Sarah's art work, see said that she has seen it, she is going to message you so she can meet up with you both

[@susanclark1435]

Hi Willie,sarah & our lovely friend jack 🐶 It’s nice seeing Richard your lucky to have a wonderful handyman & love his wee 🤘🤟😊. We been away for 10 days for my 60th birthday to Kent,west London and Lake District great part of England is the lakes wee jack would love the water bless his wee wagging teil 🐕‍🦺 love to you all see you guys on living the sky life ❤

[@clarkwgriswold157]

Hi all. It’s a White-tailed Sea Eagle being mobbed by a Raven. Shape of the tail gives it away. And a juvenile as Willie thought. Another brilliant video btw. It’s been too long since we’ve been to Skye. I wish our boy was as well behaved as Jack 👍

[@arvettadelashmit9337]

Jack really did make a choice. It is so beautiful there.

[@marydegenkolb9603]

My frailty and ill health prevents me from hiking like you two spry young people. So having us along on this hill climb was amazing! I am afraid of heights but love the vistas on Skye! You are so fortunate to live there. Thank you for taking me along on your hike.

[@susanbrown4420]

A walk in a beautiful place… unbelievable views….a bird of prey….. cake and coffee….. an artist’s gallery…. What a day!!

[@lindashoemaker8940]

Good morning Willie Sarah and Jack loved your hike up the mountain looked fantastic but I’m glad there was something in the cake box waiting for you and Wille really love your repair on the new 4x4 Sarah saw your cards on Etsy in New Jersey have fun stay safe see ya soon 😘🌺🌸☕️☕️🐕‍🦺

[@HT-io1eg]

Skye is a picture postcard from every angle. Fabulous. The videography and editing is superlative. Super professional. I’ve made home movies, properly edited, music, transitions, burned onto DVD, (long time ago) so I know how difficult it is. And yours are 10x better than mine ever were so I really appreciate how well you produce them, every week as well. I hope casual viewers realise the many hours that go into a 30 minute KZbin video. Thank you

[@livingtheskyelife]

Thanks so much!! We put a lot of effort into our videos, so it’s lovely to have that appreciated 😊

[@the-reading-lemon]

A cupboard full of cake on a hiking path?! Skye truly is magical 😍 Speaking of spray-painting your car, I have been thinking that your Dirty Secrets of Scotland logo would look AMAZING on the side of the Defender (and then for symmetry's sake Sarah's channel's logo should be on the other side). The view from that hill was absolutely stunning and really makes me miss Scotland. The eagle (whichever kind it was) was amazing - what a majestic sight! I now wonder if you should set up a whole bracket-style tournament to figure out Jack's most preferred treats. After all, there is also steak...^^

[@Hippiechick11]

It was wonderful to see your eagle. We see bald eagles frequently in Minnesota. It is so amazing to see them where ever they are. Thanks for sharing and have a great week!

[@cameronS523]

I was thinking the same thing. I'm fortunate enough to live in the Pacific Northwest near Seattle, where there are hikes abound, but I've never seen a cake cupboard!

[@nathaire]

It's a juvenile White Tailed Sea Eagle and he was probably checking out Jack Spaniel. They are known to take foxes. We live south of you in Ardnamurchan and had a similar encounter some years ago. It was an adult and checked out our old Labrador Mister Sanchez but decided he was a bit too weighty.

[@jonap5740]

This is what I was thinking as I watched...Eagle checking out if he could pick off Jack.

[@SimonPower65]

Thank you so much for keeping my love for Skye alive with your good honest videos. No pretending or the likes. Im having a year long fight with my health but thanks to our amazing NHS my dear wife and i hope to be back on Skye next year enjoying all it has to offer including some of the cracking wee music sessions in the Portree bars. Love from Dumfries and thanks again. ❤️

[@susanselko-millman4889]

Love watching birds on the thermals. Peaceful.

[@joanns5250]

A CAKE CABINET IN THE WILD! You're not in Scotland, you're in HEAVEN!

[@livingtheskyelife]

This comment made me chuckle. Willie 🙂

[@karenrogers9327]

As Aussies the cake cupboard is just amazing - the weather and ants etc. would never let it work. I so wish I could come across cake on a bushwalk! I’ll just have to come to Skye one day to experience the magic I guess. On a different note my husband has very limited mobility and so for him getting to “join” you on that walk was just extra special. Thanks for all the ways you share the lovely place where you live. We watch your videos every Monday evening without fail.

[@paulalaurie7935]

I watch them on Monday too. New Zealand 🇳🇿

[@livingtheskyelife]

Aww thanks so much for the lovely comment - we are so happy that we can bring you with us to the places that we love exploring 😊

[@sallyannc3176]

Would it be 'Living the Skye life' if Richard wasn't involved helping Willie with a project?! 😅❤ Cracking hill walk - but what a risk not picking up a cake on the way up! Brilliant to see the eagle.

[@livingtheskyelife]

Willie was very lucky there were two bits of cake left!! 😂

[@tgnome44]

Love the ever growing Beard Willie😊

[@cherylenelson4828]

What an amazing hike. Pure peace

[@SarahHovley]

Sausage, of course!!! And spectacular scenery with a coffee and cake chaser. Perfect! ❤❤❤❤❤❤

Hi guys, love your channel. That’s a WTSE, I’ve been a falconer for nearly 30 years and been lucky enough to have trained and flown eagles. Atb Tom.

Its always a good Sunday evening when you three are on. What amazing views you had and I hope you did'nt ache too much the next day. Cake looked great. Jack Spaniels certainly likes his sausages best. Lovely long Bloopers too. Landy looks much better with a clean bum. Stay safe and love to all,

[@stuartthomson13]

Sea Eagle, just down from your walk is the nesting place on the cliff . We got lucky last time there and got to see both adults off Skye and the juvenile. Across the water is another pair also that we got to see on the same day. Absolutely fantastic

[@lottaengelke9394]

I´m swedish, I LOVE your personalities and videos. Thank you for them

[@aliceaustin3603]

All I can say of your view, is WOW! Beautiful nature.

[@annjarvis9300]

Awwww how lovely that clime was from someone who struggles on even surface of a Super market that was grand to share and the sight of the eagle was magnificent thanks for having us along luv to all three well done on the paint job the oldies 🤗🤗🤗👍👍👍

[@DBruceAllen]

Hi from New Scotland (Nova Scotia) Canada. Another great video. Our 16 year old Shih Tzus Mini would agree with Jack. Sausages are best! She just loves them!

[@andreacrashe9894]

*Wow whoever puts out cakes for the walker/hikers is a great person indeed. The cake would be helping one get their energy levels back up too. Great scenery to see as you did your walking... 🙂.*

[@AlanHough-p1w]

Beautiful place. Love the cake box couldn't happen anywhere else

[@egravett]

😂 Willie, THAT jumper is so colourful, reminded me of Mick from Time Team 😂. I really enjoyed that walk and glad there was just enough cake left for you both 😊

[@livingtheskyelife]

What an honour. Loved Mick from Time Team. Such an interesting and intelligent man. 🙂

[@evastanford2249]

Thank y’all for sharing your beautiful life

[@irmibullinger1421]

A new video at last! Waiting a week is tough! I knew Jack Spaniels would pick sausages over the chicken 😋😛😜 Scotland has the most beautiful scenery in the world. Thanks for sharing it!

[@ceanothus_bluemoon]

I don't comment too often as I'm sure you''re swamped with lovely messages, but had to comment about the glorious views, the light, the golden or WT Sea eagle... just heavenly, and I re-watched and paused the landscapes quite a few times last night. The cake, and postcard honesty boxes are so sweet!

[@livingtheskyelife]

Aww thanks so much!!

[@ginnypeckham4022]

There are White Tailed Sea Eagles here on the Isle of Wight and that's definitely a juvenile, We have one that sits on our fence eyeing up our Hebridean sheep. He is already HUGE!

[@gilscot100]

Another wonderful video filling my heart with joy to see my homeland scenery

[@jaysmith8199]

I'm totally with you about the clouds making the view moody and magnificent. We are so lucky in the UK that we have skies that make our scenery so expressive. The rain and the rainbow- my Cornish grandma always said rain is liquid sunshine 😊 She also said that if you could see enough blue sky to make a pair of sailor's trousers it would be good weather 😄

[@livingtheskyelife]

Sarah’s gran used to say that too!

[@karensmith5116]

The Rover looks much better thanks to Willie! I loved your hike. The view is magnificent! If you ever come to North Carolina in the States, I can offer you a guest room and can take you for any number of hikes you would love! Excellent video, as they are every week.

[@kaystapleton4504]

Absolutely beautiful scenery Skye is beautiful x❤❤🐶

[@carolebarwell8920]

We made our first trip to Skye in April 22 with my son and daughter-in-law. The hill you climbed was just behind the house where we stayed. I love seeing places we recognise. Must go back one day, but it is 600 miles from home.

[@jamieloom22]

A beautiful hike with stunning views, an eagle fly-over and cake!

[@elizabethheatley22]

Guys I think this is my most favourite video! Beautifully done! Scenery spectacular.

[@sallydattoli2143]

Yeah, its Sunday, we're information another exciting episode. Thank you Willie, Sarah and Jack Spaniels.

[@kathydupe6946]

A breathtakingly wonderful hill walk, especially since you could gift shop and buy cake! 😁 Great that you were able to fix up the rust on your truck as well Willie

[@Chr.U.Cas1622]

Dear LTSL couple. 👍👌👏 Oh WOW, simply fantastic! What an amazing place you've living in. To be completely honest: I enjoyed this episode way more than I thought I would. It's great how you mix different content together so that the video never becomes boring. Congratulations! 🎉 I know that it's a lot of effort to make videos. Really good ones, like yours, are even more work. Therefore and as always: Thanks a lot for making teaching explaining recording editing uploading and sharing. Best regards luck and especially health to all involved life forms (humans, animals and plants). Post Scriptum: The fancy horizontal striped pullover in the end is one of the wildest design I've ever seen. Matches Sarah's hair colours perfectly.

[@emilygarwood1373]

So beautiful! Nice fake out by Jack. He really had me doubting the sausages.

[@deedorothypapineau6920]

My back is aching after watching you climb the mountain. Your close encounter with the eagle and the views made it all amazing, topped off with a rainbow 🌈as well. In Mongolia they use golden eagles to hunt wolves. They are incredibly strong. The one and only one I’ve seen (up close) had a black beak and was almost as tall as me. When it decided I wasn’t food it took off, spiraling up and out of sight. When you go back again look for feathers. I have one my grandparents found at a place called Mr. Tom in Nova Scotia. Richard’s seal of approval on your automotive repair is all you need, so, relax as winter approaches. I love your channel and Jack Spaniels 🙏❤️🙏🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🦴🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@KarlGillcrist]

Thanks for being our tour guides to your beautiful countryside the filming was spot on as usual.What more could you ask for than eagles cake a rainbow and the answer to that burning question "chicken or sausage"....looking forward to next week Karl from eastern Canada P.S. I'm still a Jack-aholic and I don't want to be cured LOL

I wish y’all could find a great beach to find some cool mudlarking treasures. It’s so beautiful there and there’s so much rich history. Surely, there’s a huge cache of gold coins or prized bottles just waiting to be discovered. ❤

A beautiful area to go hiking in. So neat seeing that eagle. I think that was really great to have a "cake" box on trail to buy some cake and to leave money in honesty box. Even with the artists artwork cards. Great video guys.

[@nickcrispe1321]

Greetings from the USA Pacific Northwest. We live close to the Cascades, fine mountains, but we love Skye and visit whenever we can. Here we have bald eagles, and the juveniles look just like immature sea eagles, so I agree with several of your correspondents. Wing shape and head shape are the main identifiers. Please make more hike videos! They are a delightful reminder of past visit to Skye, and a prompt to come back soon.

[@Thecrystalhavenuk]

I started watching your channel just last week and have watched every video, you are both just wonderful, a fab team, hardworking and determined, so talented with your skills both of you…so humble but yet so strong in making this huge change, you are fabulous together and I am in awe and inspired by your journey obviously it’s not just about the last year you have both created a beautiful relationship and I love that you are such amazing friends as well as life partners.. this big leap you made wouldn’t have worked without the obvious strength in your foundation in your lives anyway xx I have loved the ardent viewpoints, humourous, varied, informative and heart warming videos, thank you for sharing them…. Jack Spaniel is just magical, i love Scotland and would love to move there from South Wales it’s not possible but we visit as often as we can in our Motorhome…(we use the passing places honest) lol, the filming you both do and the drone work is incredible, keep it up…love your channel, it’s now my fav xx
