We spent a few days away on the Island of Mull from 17th to 22nd August. The weather was a mixed bag of rain, wind and some sunshine. Fortunately the weather didn’t disrupt our trip to Iona and the boat trip for White-tailed Eagle that I had pre-booked before we left. This was the highlight of our trip without doubt, so a big thank you to Martin Kievers of Mull Charters.
Half a dozen Golden Eagle, several Otter, small numbers of Common Seal, a single Manx Shearwater, Black Guillemot and 7 White-tailed Eagle were the main highlights. The heavy rain certainly hampered our search for the islands wildlife.
Here are a few photos of our memorable trip to Mull.
