Hi
I shall be holidaying on the isle of Mull in mid May. I have done quite a bit of research on the island and surrounding area already. But i just wondered if any members have been there and know of certain areas i should visit i know of Staffa and the tresnish isles and the loch freisa hide, I wondered if any of the members had used any of the wildlife tours . |

Nope... but Mull is home to the White-Tailed (Sea) Eagle re-introduction project, so you can look forward to some spectacular stuff. I believe the island also has some Golden Eagles. |

They've got Corncrake on Iona - well worth a visit. especially the beaches at the North end, lots of good stuff all around the coast, Otters from almost any of the roads that follow the shores of Loch Scridain. I think there's a Mull birdsite -try googling for Mull Birds.

Haven't been yet but we're having 2 weeks on the west coast of Scotland in late May and I'm planning to visit Mull.
You might find this site helpful for birds - Mullbirds Online

Visit the Distillery and when you come out you may see that rare creature - the pink elephant  |

One would assume they are still there I hope. Mull and Iona are tremendous, I'm sure you'll have a great time.

A drive through Glen More with a few stops to patiently scan the tops should almost guarantee Golden Eagle (weather permitting).

I shall be on Mull late May early June too. On our last visit we did the full day Sea safari from Tobermory, saw Minke Whales. Great day out but weather got a bit rough on the way back 
We saw White tailed eagles most days and Otter once. | | |
