RFI: Mountain Hare and Black Guillemot (Ardnamurchan & Mull) (1 Viewer)

[Mike Richardson]

I’m spending a week on the Ardnamurchan Peninsula in the first week of October, and I hope to spend at least one day on Mull.

Firstly I was wondering the best place to see Mountain Hare on Mull. I imagine they occur over most of the island? Any particularly reliable sites?

Secondly, I have never had decent views of Black Guillemot. Is there any particular area on Ardnamurchan (or Mull) where I stand a half decent chance of seeing one in October? I have no plans to visit Oban harbour so an alternative site would be appreciated.

Thank you in anticipation.

If you come via the Corran ferry keep an eye out for black gillie as you cross over the narrows from Nether Lochaber to Ardgour. To the right of the slip on the Ardgour side is a small pier/refueling berth where I've seen them on numerous occasions.
