Mull 9,10 & 11 July 16

Spent 3 days on Mull with Patricia staying in a B&B in Dervaig about 10 miles from Tobermory. The weather was a bit mixed but we made the best of it.

Black Guillemot in Oban harbour
 The ferry The ferry over produced Manx Shearwater as well as some of the commoner seabirds.

Sunday dawned dull with occasional rain but by mid afternoon the sun had come out & we got Sea Eagle & Golden Eagle at Loch Na Keal as well as Short Eared Owl.

Juvenile Wheatear at Loch na Keal
A Spotted Flycather at Salen Hotel was my first of the year.

Monday was much better weather wise & we got a Hen Harrier at Grass Point.

Tuesday we got good views of Sea Eagle & Whinchat at Dervaig.
