A brisk start today as we had booked in to the Mull Eagle
Watch above Loch Scridain. It was a much
more optimistic start weatherwise, although showery. We were away at 8.30 and the single track
journey went quickly, punctuated by good views of the short eared owls on the
way. We were greeted by the RSPB warden
in charge of the eagle watch and had an excellent 3 hours with talks by both
the warden and a forestry commission lady which were both interesting and
informative. We had good views of both
adult sea eagles, although too distant for photography. I also enjoyed photographing the siskins at
the adjacent feeding station.
Eventually it was time to move on and we continued down
to Loch Na Keal and gradually made our way back to camp for 4.00 pm. After a quick cup of tea it was time to walk
along our beautiful stretch of coastline looking, yet again in vain, for
otters. The views and colours were
superb: huge billowing cumulus clouds, turquoise and inky blue sea and bright
orange/brown seaweed.
A brilliant day again.
