Over the past few weeks, Mull has experienced cooler temperatures, creating a refreshing atmosphere across the island. Despite the chill in the air, the natural world is thriving, with an abundance of wildlife gracing the landscape. Vibrant butterflies like Green Hairstreks and stunning dragonflies like Golden-ringed Dragonflies are now emerging, flitting about in search of warmth and nourishment. Additionally, a variety of wildflower species are in full bloom, painting the i

Nasty north - hats, gloves and layers! Cold northerly winds hit the island this week with guides and guests all layered up and ready for action! It did mean lots of dry weather and good clarity and visibility with the fresh temperatures! The wind switched to easterly later in the week and got slightly milder but still a real nip in the air! Greening up and the arrival of midges! The island has transitioned into a rich verity of greens now! It looks so lush and spectacular! M

A very welcome settled high pressure spell has arrived on Mull and looks to be carrying on into next week as well. Beautiful sunshine with the songbirds in full voice! On Monday Theo provided tours for guests from the cruise liner Majestic Line. They managed to see a Golden Eagle chasing a Cuckoo! Also, a WT Eagle v close to Tobermory as well! Mum and cub Otter were also seen during the trip, all bathed in beautiful Hebridean sunrise. Jack had a Mull Nature Explorer with eigh

A bright but breezy day to start before wind got up and cloud came in with a little rain. Theo and his group headed over to Ardnamurchan on the ferry crossing we had good numbers of Manx Shearwaters, Guillemots, Razorbills, Shags, Kittiwakes and a few Gannets. A single Common Dolphin leapt from the water a little distantly but didn't show again. Arriving at Kilchoan we spotted 2 White-tailed Eagles on the near hill side being harassed by Ravens. Onto our next stop we had good

Not as much rain as originally forcast this week but still slightly unsettled and a good wind blowing and gusting! It was warm on Tuesday, reaching 15 degrees, compared with the 2 degrees we got only a few days earlier! Klay had a tour on Tuesday and managed to get some moderate views of both eagle species and hen harriers. The eagles are sitting tight on their goose sized eggs right now so a bit tricker to spot at this critical time. Common Sandpiper on the shoreline of Loch

Theo and Klay both had Mull Nature Explorers today, meeting the guests in Tobermory. It was quite a cold wind but mainly dry, which was a welcome change! WT Eagles were showing well on both tours and also views of Golden Eagles in different capacities. One of the highlights was this stunning male Merlin pictured! This is the ‘April spike’ with Merlins passing through the island on their way to more northern breeding grounds. Otters were seen on both tours, actively feeding in

Rain hammering down at first light and a tricky forecast so we provided a shorter 4 hour tour today. The guests were from Newcastle and Vancouver as we headed out to explore this magical island! We got onto two WT Eagles at our first stop, showing strong pair bonding with some close interactions. We then focussed on the coast and saw GN Divers, Slavonian Grebes and RB Mergansers. Further north we had a stunning male Hen Harrier before a superb overhead WT Eagles view! Harbour

🎄The Nature of Mull - Advent Calendar Day 1️⃣ 7️⃣ After today's news from south of the border pointing heavily towards atrocious wildlife crimes, there is only one species to showcase today...the majestic White-tailed Eagle! See the link if unaware of the news - https://www.roydennis.org/

🎄The Nature of Mull - Advent Calendar Day 0️⃣ 8️⃣ Carrion is an essential food source for eagles in the winter months to get them in a suitable condition for breeding efforts towards the end of the season. 🎥 Trail Cam, Golden Eagle

Quite overcast and grey in the morning with a fresh northerly wind, very appropriate for the first winter day tour since March! Red throated diver and Harbour seals were a nice start before a little egret, buzzards and kestrels. A few attempts for the other raptor species to no avail before five species together at our lunch stop. Two Hen Harriers and both flavours of eagles on the distant skylines. At our toilet stop we had a spectacular otter encounter as we all got in a re

Weather: Moderate breeze picking up through the day with heavy cloud mostly The days sightings included lots of Red Deer, a ringtail Hen Harrier and 2 male Hen Harrier, one of which gave great views quartering the flat grassland not far away, 3 sightings of sadly distant Golden Eagles, who despite the breeze didn't want to play ball, some sizeable flocks of Redwing and Fieldfare, Great-Northern Divers in the sea lochs and lots of Buzzards enjoying the breeze. The star sightin

Weather: Light breeze and mostly overcast with occasional light rain. Both groups started with the local pair of White-tailed Eagles before watching a pod of Common Dolphins unusually high up a sea loch, an indicator of the huge amount of food that's around for the marine mammals lately. A Golden Eagle was perched in dead tree on the hillside and 2 Kestrels over the ridge above. We then watched a pair of adult WTE's on an offshore island before an Otter and her tiny cub appea

Calm winds and bright spells made for perfect conditions to explore Mull’s wild coast once again. Our morning began overlooking the Sound of Mull, where a large pod of Common Dolphins and several Harbour Porpoise travelled south through the calm water. Then came a truly special moment — a stunning Hoopoe, the first ever recorded on a Nature Scotland tour! The bird fed right beside the road, giving us incredible views before flying further along, all against the backdrop of a

Bright skies and calm air made for ideal walking conditions on Mull today. A quick stop on our way to the coast brought an early treat — a distant Otter feeding in the Sound, watched over by two White-tailed Eagles perched out on a rocky reef. We began our coastal walk with a lovely mix of waders and a Red-throated Diver just offshore. The calm conditions made spotting easy, and before long, Harbour Porpoise and Harbour Seals appeared, moving gracefully through the still wate
