Our Aurora on BBC Winterwatch...

It was great to see our #auroraborealis time-lapse footage on BBC Winterwatch last week. It was a wonderful spectacle with a very wide twin auroral arc stretching all the way from the NW horizon to the NE, with pulsating columns rippling very low down on the skyline! We enjoyed all the beautiful photos and videos from up and down the west coast! #Aurora #AuroraBorealis #BBCSpringwatch #EwanMiles #NorthernLights #MullNatureExpedition #mullwinter #mull #IsleofMull

The Isle of Mull Autumn Wildlife Expedition with Iolo Williams

The Isle of Mull Autumn Wildlife Expedition with Iolo Williams A wonderful five days exploring the wild areas of #Mull with Iolo and guests. On day four we had memorable views of Otters along with 3 Purple Sandpipers, Turnstones and a convocation of Golden Eagles! It was wet early on in day five as we found shelter in a nearby wildlife hide and managed to see a Dipper! Afterwards the sun came out as we had a relaxing couple of hours in #Tobermory before we all said our goodby

The Isle of Mull Autumn Wildlife Experience with Iolo Williams - Day 2 & 3...

It was amazing to watch a party of adult Whooper Swans land in the bay and then see the resident Mute Swans become highly aggressive towards them as they attempted to chase them all off! On the Tuesday afternoon we had great views of an Otter along with an adult White-tailed Eagle perched up on the sheltered side of a spruce plantation, away from the wet and wild weather. This morning we had one of the most action-packed wildlife experiences I have ever had on a tour! As soon

Trophy Hunting...

Last month, the Scottish Outdoor Leisure Awards voting panel asked us why we think we deserved to win Scotland's Best Outdoor Adventure Experience 2018. This is some of the content that we included in the judging form... "One of our proudest achievements to date was running a number of community campaigns to help raise over £1000 for the RSPB to partly fund, satellite tagging a Hen Harrier on the Isle of Mull. The Hen Harrier is one of Britain's rarest birds of prey and the I

Package Expeditions with Iolo Williams

A wildlife-packed first three days with Iolo Williams and guests on the Isle of Mull! The raptors were taking advantage of the hot temperatures and moderate winds todayas we saw White-tailed Eagles, Golden Eagle, Hen Harriers and even a Buzzard catch an Adder and carry it overhead!! On the previous two excursions we have enjoyed two separate Otter encounters consisting of a mother and cub feeding. We also managed a mature female Adder basking, several slow worms and a female

Scanning the scree and boulder fields for Mountain Hares... There has been plenty of evidence of the lagomorph species in recently discovered eagle prey remains, providing some very healthy ecological signs. Who fancies joining Ewan up the mountains to enjoy and learn about upland ecology... #mullmountainexpedition #mullwinter #mullwildlife #MullWildlifeTour #MullWildlifeTours #MullTour #Mull #EwanMiles

CalMac Ferries vessel 'The Clansman' steaming east towards Oban with the snowy peaks of Rum in the backdrop. Great to see some healthy feeding out in these waters this week. Large gatherings of mixed gulls have been squabbling ferociously in an attempt to catch the boiling fish at the surface! #NatureScotland #Mull #IsleofMull #MullWildlifeTour #mullwildlife #MullWildlifeTours #WildlifeBlog #EwanMiles #MullPhotographyTour

Nature Scotland to co-ordinate National Seabird Survey on Mull in 2018/19...
