Great week on Isle Of Mull (1 Viewer)

Had such a fantastic week on Mull saw lots of great birds including Hooded Crow, Whinchat & Oystercatchers. But the biggest was getting up close to Puffins on Lunga whilst doing the Staffa boat trip. I got fantastic view of a seabird colony which was full of Guiliemots, the sound was fantastic. On the way back on the boat we saw a Sea Eagle on its nest, we also saw Bottlenose Dolphins. The rest of the week visited Isle Of Iona and spotted a Corncrake on a wall before it disappeared into the next field. I also saw a Golden Eagle whilst in the car and on the day before I left I saw some guys with telescopes they were looking for a Otter there I scanned through my Binoculars and spotted it, it was fishing and feeding on a fish I managed to watch it for maybe 5 minutes before it disappeared so I can say on this trip I saw The Top 5 wildlife encounters everyone comes to Mull hoping to see 1) The Corncrake 2) The Puffin 3) The Golden Eagle 4) The Sea Eagle 5) The Otter a great holiday.

A superb trip. Was there a couple of years ago - didn't see Corncrake or Puffins (wrong time of year), but did see WTE, GE and otter. Still remember the excitement! Glad you got to see such a wide variety and enjoyed your time there.
