Descrição
Mull, known as 'eagle island', has the world's most concentrated population of Águia-real, with 20 breeding pairs. Loch na Keal, Ben More and Ulva are good spots. Águia-rabalva were reintroduced in the 1970's and are thriving; there is an eagle watch hide at Loch Frisa. Águia-pesqueira visit regularly especially Lochdon, Loch Cuin and Loch Torr. Tartaranhão-azulado are abundant (I saw 16 in one day), there are also falcão-peregrino, Esmerilhão, Águia-d'asa-redonda and Gavião da Europa.
Codornizão, up to 20 calling males, breed on Iona. This small island on the western point of Mull is accessible from Mull by a passenger ferry. Wildlife tours by Minibus operate from Craignure, and whale/dolphin boat trips from Tobermory. Otters are numerous and red deer in the hills. Midges can be troublesome in July and August.
