oxo 381 Posted August 5, 2019 Report Share Posted August 5, 2019 Just came back from one of the best holidays I've had, a week at portfield on mull. Stunning place, isolated and wild, no electricity or wifi. While there i saw a pair of white tail eagles and found a feather a mile or so on from one, otters, ravens, seals, peregrine and a goshawk missing it's strike on a rabbit. All seen within a mile of the house. The place was heaving with rabbits with at least half all black. Also had a free range herd of cows and young bullocks and the biggest bull i have ever seen as neighbours, right around the house at times rubbing on drainpipes and a pain in the arse shifting from around the car. Hope to return soon, many of here spend time on Mull? Cheers 11 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Midgies were a pain in the arse in a night when I had washed the Smidge off and had to walk the dogs! Saw some fallow at lochbuie, no reds 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

pesky1972 4,926 Posted August 5, 2019 Report Share Posted August 5, 2019 Only been once, stayed in a wee cottage at Fionnphort next to the Iona ferry. Absolutely the place to go in the UK to see eagles. I watched a pair of Golden Eagles ‘mob’ a Sea Eagle near Lochbuie. Boat trip out to Staffa was good too. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

cragman 2,631 Posted August 5, 2019 Report Share Posted August 5, 2019 Didn’t go there but I was in the Highlands last week and had a great week. Wonderful place if you like walking, hunting and nature. Weather spot on and roads were quiet That place looks lovely. Might try there next year 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
