Love Life...
A Red Admiral feeding from a Devils Bit Scabious in the Mull and Iona Community Trust Ardura woodland. DB Scabious provides vital food in the late summer and Autumn for bees, butterflies and other invertebrates and it is also incredibly beautiful, adding colour and life to landscapes! #MullNatureExpedition #Mull #mullwildlife #MullTour #mull #MullWildlifeTours

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

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

Otter Encounters...
Seeing an Otter or a Grey Heron in a coastal environment is a gold stamp for a healthy ecosystem...even more so if you see both species together! We have enjoyed some wonderful #Otter encounters on recent expeditions and are hoping for many more with our guests this year! #Otters #MullNatureExpedition #mullwildlife #MullPhotography #Mull #mullwinter #MullWildlifeTours

That Heraldic Pose..
We have had a stunning week of Golden Eagle encounters on our #Mull Nature Expeditions! Settled weather during the incubation period has potentially helped with their breeding attempts so far. Lets hope that parent birds manage to find plenty of food for growing eaglets at this time of the year. Here is another 'Cairn Cam' video from a GEs home range in the north of the island. #GoldenEagle #mullmountainexpedition #MullNatureExpedition #mullwildlife #Mull #IsleofMull #MullWil
