Beskrivning
Mull, known as 'eagle island', has the world's most concentrated population of kungsörn, with 20 breeding pairs. Loch na Keal, Ben More and Ulva are good spots. havsörn were reintroduced in the 1970's and are thriving; there is an eagle watch hide at Loch Frisa. Fiskgjuse visit regularly especially Lochdon, Loch Cuin and Loch Torr. blå kärrhök are abundant (I saw 16 in one day), there are also Pilgrimsfalk, stenfalk, ormvråk and sparvhök.
kornknarr, 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.
