The Magic Of Mull

Boat trip out to Staffa & Lunga was one of the highlights of the trip. Great view of Fingal’s Cave from the boat, and Puffins & Razorbills were magical on Lunga. Unbelievably close as we walked to cliffs covered in Guillemots, and the sun shone!! Many wonderful sightings during the trip of Harriers, White-tailed Eagles, and the best being Golden Eagles wheeling in the sky and landing on craggy rocks. Otters were very special, and we loved the Snipe and Redshank, which each regularly perched on a fencepost 500 yds down the road from the inn. The drumming of the snipe in flight was very memorable. Nice walk to Moy Castle & visited standing stones. Andy worked so hard to ensure the group had a great time and ensure all our expectations were met to see the wildlife on Mull. Very knowledgeable and outstanding spotting skills. Great to be able to see close ups of birds through telescope. 

A wonderful holiday, we saw everything we hoped for and a lot that we hadn't even thought of. Every day had a highlight, but spending time watching an otter, seeing a golden eagle chase off a sea eagle, visiting Staffa and Lunga and exploring quiet parts of Mull that I hadn't seen before. Andy has an amazing knowledge of birds, animals and even plants. He was also very good at spotting birds and otters from a great distance and very patient at helping the rest of us see them.

Diverse range of species identified, beautiful scenery, the two boat trips added variety, went to different areas each day all of which offered good sightings and walks. Andy was fab, significant contribution to my enjoyment of the trip. Incredibly knowledgeable and patiently answered my many, many questions; our range and quality of sightings far exceeded my expectations, appreciated being able to use the scope when possible. Trip ran very smoothly. Each day was well planned, fitting in a diverse range of locations and nice walks. Offered additional trips out every evening after dinner which were greatly appreciated. I also appreciated his knowledge of the different trips offered by NatureTrek which has helped me to decide when and where I would like to go next.

Could not have had a more knowledgeable or attentive guide. Greg is an amazing teacher.
