Mull
is not only one of the most beautiful islands on the West Coast
of Scotland, it is also well-known for its rich wildlife.
FOR A UNIQUE DAY OUT:
Why not take a day’s wildlife
tour with David, and benefit from his long experience of living
on the
island
(since 1973!)
Mull is one of the best places in Britain to spot Otters, Golden
Eagles and Sea Eagles (also known as white-tailed eagles). Red
deer and common seal are abundant, buzzards commonplace! We also
have Hen Harriers, Kestrels, Merlin, Short-Eared Owls and many
other land birds. On the surrounding seas we have all three types
of diver, oyster-catchers, cormorant, shag, razorbill, puffin,
and several species of duck to name but a few!!!
See these against a backdrop of towering mountains and clear
seas and lochs, clothed in their different colours according
to the season – in May the yellow of the flag iris, in
September the purple of the heather etc. Take a look at our 'sister
site':www.aboutmullwildlife.co.uk for
further information.
Plus visit some of the special places on the island and hear
stories of Mull life past and present.
David will collect you from your accommodation anywhere
in the South of Mull (connection with the Iona ferry), or from
the ferry
in Craignure (for those coming over from Oban for the day).
The route of the tour is decided on the day according to weather
conditions etc. Don’t be put off by the weather, the wildlife
isn’t necessarily! Otters love cloudy days and eagles strong
winds for soaring on.
Tea/coffee provided, but bring your own lunch (there will also
be the opportunity to buy something to eat)
Wear sturdy footwear and bring wet weather clothing, also binoculars
if you have them. Don’t forget your camera!!!
We do provide some binoculars, also a telescope for your use.
