Mull's Wilds Better

Having checked the weather forecast we decided to travel up to Mull yesterday - 06.34 Citylink bus from Anniesland X to Oban; breakfast roll in pub; ferry from Oban at 09.50 arriving in Craignure at 10.45 where we met our wildlife guide, for the day, Peter Hall.

Our target species were White-tailed Eagle and Golden Eagle and Peter did not disappoint as we had great views of 5 White-tailed Eagles and 2 Golden Eagles. Record shots follow:

Whilst out with Peter we saw another 34 bird species, Red Deer, seals galore and a couple of Otters, with this one giving amazing views ....

 

We were lucky in that we had Peter to ourselves as another customer postponed on the day. His vehicle was extremely comfortable, not always the case on wildlife trips, and he had a nice relaxed manner - thanks Peter!

On our return to Oban we saw a number of seabirds with Manx Shearwater being the highlight.

We arrived in time for the 18.15 bus to Glasgow and we were back in the house by 21.00hrs!

What a great day.
