Visit to Mull Part 2.

After a slightly grey and damp start to the week we set out on our day with a guide on Tues. It was just the 4 of us so plenty of room for all weather type clothes, camera's, scopes and tripods and of course a packed lunch and hot drinks and a hip flask in case it got really cold. The photos are in no particular daily order but most were taken around the shores of Loch Na Keal.

Firstly the ubiquitous Hooded Crow with a few Bluebells, making a nice change from our local crows.

On the drive we stopped to look at a field of Whimbrel! Having only seen them in ones or two's  it was quite a sight to see about 18 spread across the site.

With a Bluebell woodland on the other side of the road.

Been awhile since last saw a Bullfinch.

Then onto the shores of the Loch. Common Sandpiper

Then in the far distance a Golden Eagle being mobbed by a Raven.

All heavily cropped.

On the Loch a few sea ducks

We then drove around the other side of the Loch to look for White Tailed Eagles and lucky us.... Again heavily cropped as they and the Golden Eagles were such a distance away.

Some local scenery

We stopped at a riverside on the way back to look for Dippers as the guide knew where a nest was. the light was tricky but we had great views of the pair but only one decent pic.

Finally a sunny view from our back garden one evening.

View back to Loch Frisa on the road to Dervaig. We did a walk along one side of Loch Frisa and spotted our first ever Whinchat but no pics.

Although there are no Otter pics we had 3 sightings but all too distant to get a photo, especially with one from s moving car and no where to pullover.
