Isle of Mull
Wildlife Expeditions
Mull and its surrounding
islands are home to thousands of
seabirds and ducks.
On the main island, you can see nesting Kittiwakes and
Fulmars. The Black
Guillemot nests here, as does the Shag and a number of
species of Gull, including Britain's largest Gull,
the Great Black Backed Gull.
Just
offshore on our smaller islands,
you can see large numbers of Puffins, Common
Guillemots and Razorbills. There are also rarer birds, such as Storn Petrel and
Arctic Skua.
On the mountainous island of Rhum there are huge numbers of Manx
Shearwaters. Many seabirds that do not nest here, are also seen on migration, in
Spring and late Summer.
Birds such as Sooty Shearwater, Gannet, Corys and Great
Shearwater are seen annually.
Nesting along Mull's seaweed covered shorelines,
are Red Breasted Merganser and Eider Duck, and on inland lochs there are Red
Throated Divers,
Slavonian Grebes, Black Throated Diver and Great Northern
Diver.
