Scotland the Big Picture
We had an amazing day at the 'Scotland The Big Picture' conference in Stirling. Inspirational lectures from around Scotland and even from far flung Montana! We left feeling a buzz of excitement and hope for the future of biodiversity and the climate in Scotland. Everyone came away feeling that 'now is the time', and that 'no one is too small to make a difference'. #mull #MullNatureExpedition #Mull #mullwildlife #mullwinter #MullTour #MullWildlifeTours

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

Make the Adder Count...
An adult male Adder out at a spring basking site this week. Concern has been growing about the status of UK adder populations, with expert opinion reporting widespread declines. Assessing the true scale of these declines, however, has been hampered by a lack of quantitative data. Make the Adder Count began in 2005 as a national surveillance programme collecting standardised counts of adders lying-out after emerging from hibernation. Read the full paper here... https://www.the
