Mull's Otters and Eagles

The Hebridean island of Mull boasts nearly 300 miles of coastline, which offers tremendous scenic photographic opportunities. In April the tussle between winter and spring is in full swing, adding the full gamut of light and shade, and every kind of weather to this inspiring landscape. Not only that, Mull is also home to some of Britain’s most iconic wildlife, from the magnificent White-tailed Eagles that are easy to see from a boat trip taking fish from the water, to the herds of Red Deer that haunt the glens, to the playful Otters that forage just offshore.
