After a fortnight interning with Nature Scotland, writing this blog is certainly helping brighten the atmosphere in my gloomy bedroom back home, as what a phenomenal two weeks it was! It was excellent to meet back up with Ewan and Klay, as well as meet Theo and Dave Sexton for the first time, and even greater to have the pleasure of touring the island in their wonderful company, providing the plethora of lovely guests from all over the world with many exciting and memorable w

THE ISLE OF MULL WILDLIFE EXPERIENCE with Megan McCubbin, Indy Kiemel Greene and Dave Sexton August 24th – 28th 2026 The group met in Tobermory at 2pm – one of the group had come straight from climbing Ben More! Tobermory looked a picture in beautiful sunshine and blue skies. Indy and Dave were totally outnumbered with the group being all ladies. First stop was some lovely Harbour Seals on some rocks in the sound. We stayed in north/mid Mull for the first day. The highlig

Team: Iolo Williams, Jack Waldie, Klay Blake, Theo de Clermont and Ewan Miles Day 1: We all met in Tobermory after lunch and headed straight out to some coastal habitats in the west of the island. First spot produced a brilliant view of a Golden Eagle over the near hillside, before an adult WTE gave a fantastic close flyby. Another adult WTE flew over the distant hillside. Seals and a WTE were sat out on an offshore skerry. Further down the coast an Otter was out fishing befo

Team: Iolo Williams, Megan Hamill, Klay Blake, Theo de Clermont and Ewan Miles Day 1 We all met in Tobermory after lunch and headed straight out to some coastal habitats in the west of the island. It ended up being a 'raptor fest' with views of golden and white-tailed eagles over the mountainous scenery. Great to see fledged juvenile wt eagles flying stronger by the day as they continue to stay in their natal areas before they will slowly disperese as young nomads. Red-breast

Day 1 – A Damp Start Our wildlife package began after lunch, meeting everyone in Tobermory before setting off to explore some of the coastal habitats in the central part of the island. The weather certainly lived up to the title of the day, with a damp start greeting us, but that never stops wildlife enthusiasts! Although the sights were quieter than we'd hoped, there were still some lovely moments to enjoy. Two Gannets cruised effortlessly over the sea loch, while a smart

Day 1 - March 15th On day one, the group met up at 2 o'clock down at the Grant Arms hotel’s reception, where we got to know each other and set up a plan for the week. Shortly afterwards, we set off for the area around Nethy Bridge in the hopes of spotting Dipper, Crested Tit and Red Squirrel. Upon arrival, we took a path along the river where we spotted a female Goosander and a pair of Dipper’s that were feeding relatively close to the bank. After a stroll along the river, we

23rd evening - day 1 We all met up at our accommodation at Oakfield House before heading out for the afternoon. A wet and windy afternoon to start the trip. On our way to our first stop we had Goosander and Red-breasted Merganser, Bar-tailed Godwit and other common waders plus a few Harbour Seals and 2 showy Red-throated Divers from the roadside. Red and Fallow deer were ticked off next from the van. Sadly, the weather really turned when we arrived at the sea loch, but we saw

TOUR REPORT Day One We all met outside the hotel at 12noon and headed straight for the English side of the Solway. It was a high spring tide, so the waders were pushed in close to the shore and getting ready to roost. It was lovely to see groups of Pintail and Shoveler just offshore near Bowness and wader species consisted of Oystercatcher, Curlew, Lapwing and Redshank. Large numbers of Wigeon and Teal were also offshore, and a group of Common Scoters flying west. As we made

From the 27th - 31st of October, Mull had 8 new residents, 7 were our wonderful guests and the other was the one and only Megan McCubbin. Together we embarked on a week to remember, experiencing Mull's autumn wildlife at its very best. On the Monday afternoon, we welcomed everyone at our beautiful accommodation in Tobermory with fantastic views down the Sound of Mull looking south-east with spectacular sunrises from the living room windows all week. The tour began at 2pm, and

Day 1 We all met up at our accommodation house before heading out for the afternoon, a windy and rainy afternoon was on the cards and high tide, so we headed to moorland areas of NW Mull, on the way we saw Snipe and Little Grebes. Coming into Calgary bay in a flooded field there were lots of Oystercatchers and Common Gulls and a sizable Greylag Goose flock, hidden amongst them were 10 Greenland White-fronted Geese, a species becoming a very v rare sight on Mull and with 4 of

10th - day 1 We all met at the Kennacraig ferry terminal and started with the ferry trip to Port Askaig. Through West Loch Tarbert we had several summer plumage Great-Northern Diver, Red-breasted Mergansers, Wigeon, a Little Egret, several Little Grebe, a drake Common Scoter, Eiders and a few Harbour Seals. Down the Sound of Islay there were a fair few Red Deer on the moors of Jura. A pair of White-tailed Eagles were sitting on top of an island with an immature WTE flying ove
