Wildlife Adventures - 23rd August 2013

Fantastic 4 hours spent searching the north shore of Mull. We found around 5 basking sharks and had a very close encounter with one as it swam alongside us lifting its nose right out of the water! We also saw several harbour porpoise, white-tailed eagles, common & grey seals, great skuas, shearwaters and diving gannets



More great sightings on this afternoon's trip with a basking shark seen feeding at the surface, close views of harbour porpoise surfacing around us, two white-tailed eagle perched in one of their favourite trees, common seal and pup, storm petrel, great skuas and a lucky few got to see an otter before it slipped out of view
