This page is for daily tour highlights, not just for Eagles and Otters which we see on most tours, unless of course they give us more special views than normal

July 4th  God bless our American friends
Weather sunny, warm, calm – Excellent views, Mull at its’ best, what a day, 5 Golden Eagles, 5 White Tailed Eagles, Hen Harrier, 2 separate Otters, Red Deer, Fallow Deer, Common Seal with pup, Grey Seal and the Black Rabbits. There was also 2 Great skuas, 4 Red Throated Divers, Kittiwakes, Fulmar, Gannets, Guillemots, Long Tailed Tits and Tree Creepers in a 61 species day. It was just a brilliant day and I nearly forgot the morning Goosanders.
July 3rd
Weather warm, sunny and dry with a lot less wind – Super views of Mull and the small Islands around it today. White Tailed Eagles everywhere, Golden Eagle interacting with a White Tail and 2 Hen Harriers, and a Cuckoo being fed by Meadow Pipits were amongst the highlights on another 50 species day.
July 2nd
Weather warm, windy but dry till 3-30pm then it bucketed down – another great group today prepared for any kind of weather and they were rewarded with White tailed Eagle taking a common gull chick despite the attention of at least 20 adult birds. Otter and cub doing Ottery things for an hour and a spectacular Red Deer stag. They got on their knees to smell the beautiful Fragrant Orchid and took lots of photographs of the splendid Eas Force Waterfall in full flow. We had some laughs as well on another great day out . 43 species in a shortened day. 
July 1st
Weather rained all day -  It could have been a terrible day but our guests were brilliant and enthused over everything we saw and were rewarded with White Tailed Eagle, Otter, Fallow and Red Deer and as a result of their patience great Hen Harrier at the end of the day. When weather is that poor we always go back to our house for lunch or afternoon tea, this enables everyone can dry off and get warm. This is no hardship as we get over 20 species of birds in the garden on a daily basis at the moment including Yellowhammers, Bullfinches and lots of Siskins. 48 species seen on an awful day weatherwise.
June 30th
Cloudy, windy dry until the end of the day - We take great pleasure is showing our guests the eagles, otter, deer and seals that we have here on Mull but we often find it’s the small birds that give us pleasure during our day like the colourful Bullfinch with his 2 youngsters sitting out on the fence wire or mother House Sparrow teaching her young how to pick up the seed on the lawn in front of the kitchen window. A 51 species day
June 29th
Weather overcast but dry till 2pm then showery for the rest of the day, windy and cold.- A fantastic day with super people, thanks to the Staniers, the Jarvis family, particularly young Miles spotter supreme, what a birder you will make, Ian heath and Jo Dale who ran Miles close as spotter of the day. We had fun saw all Mulls wildlife stars, Otters, Eagles, Harriers and Deer and lots more because we were all spotting. I had a great day out because I allow everyone to spot don’t put people down if they make mistakes and try to encourage beginners to enjoy Britains great wildlife. Get out and get involved it is a great reliever of stress. We were glad the heater worked on the way home in a 49 species day.  

June 19th to June 23rd we were away for a very special celebration
