| Re: Trip report - Islay and Mull
Many thanks all for your appreciaitve comments.
Yes, it does take a while to pull it all together but as I said I do this for my own enjoyment as well as for WAB hopefully.
Rob .... I did recall that you are an Islay fan too and the weather that you had during the previous week was reported to me by the owners of the B&B that I stayed at .... it did sound a bit rough so I hope it did not detract too much from your own visit.
Pauline .... I know you are a big fan of Scotland from your own reports and photos from the Hebs and Cairngorms .... I can not recommend Islay and Mull highly enough .... you have to go!
Picidae .... I second the Ogilvie book recommendation and it certainly helped me a lot on my first visit last year .... I think I need to try a late October visit next year as you suggest to see the 1000s of geese actually arriving from the far northern breeding grounds.
Ruth .... where next? .... there will be some birdwatching in north Norfolk around the ned of the year and in to the New Year, there will be at least one trip to Scotland next year and I am currently planning a trip to Arctic Finland and Norway for next May/June (definitely "wild" but not "in Britain"!)
Ukwildlifeo .... go to Mull .... you will not regret it!
sunnydale .... yes, the joys of Otter watching .... one of my favourite mammals.
