Wild Gardens...
In recent weeks I have been out photographing some inspirational wild gardens around #Mull to gain some images and stories for the new book. Pennygate Lodge is run by nature lovers who accommodate many other wildlife enthusiasts at their luxurious home. They leave areas of the garden for nature to flourish, with this beautiful flower rich meadow, full of colour, life and biodiversity! #IslandNature #IsleofMull #WorkingWithNature Ewan Miles

Reptiles rule...
Reptiles rule... We encountered this stunning pregnant female Adder on our #Mull Nature Expedition this week! They do not lay eggs, but give birth in late summer to approximately 8 live young that measure 15 - 20 cm. The young are contained in a membrane that breaks immediately after they are born. #Adders #Reptiles #mull #Mull #MullNatureExpedition #mullwildlife #IsleofMull #MullTour #MullWildlifeTour

A Eurasian Otter imitating a Sea Otter!?
A Eurasian Otter imitating a Sea Otter!? On a recent #Mull tour we watched an Otter repeatedly logging on its back. It was fascinating to see and I love observing unique personal traits with every Otter encountered! #Otters #mull #MullNatureExpedition #Mull #mullwildlife #IsleofMull #MullTour #mullwinter

Red Grouse on Mull
It was great to see a small group of Red Grouse on the north of #Mull recently. The wetter oceanic conditions on the west of the country reduce the abundance of heather (favoured food for RG), so this species are in smaller more localised numbers. #mull #mullmountainexpedition #MullNatureExpedition #Mull #MullWildlifeTours #IsleofMull #MullWildlifeTour #MullTour
