Wildlife Adventure - 11th October 2013
Glorious
sunshine throughout the trip today as we encountered some small groups
of Harbour Porpoise as we sailed through the Sound of Mull. Another
highlight was viewing a pair of Golden Eagles and a pair of White-tailed
Eagles together in their neighbouring territories. Guillemots and
Kittiwakes in good numbers out in the open grounds as we enjoyed
fantastic views of the highlands and islands in pristine light. Our
local Harbour Seal colony were showing well in healthy numbers and
another good plankton trawl was taken. A wonderful four hours at sea.

Wildlife Adventure - 9th October 2013
Strong
winds made for challenging conditions today as we covered waters in the
Sound of Mull. Gannets and Kittiwakes seen tackling the strong winds
with ease and a good number of Common Seals at their local haul out
site. A great plankton sample was displayed on the microscope for all to
see. The changeable weather produced some fantastic rainbows and shades
of light on the hills of Mull and Movern.
