We have had another wonderful season spotting wildlife from our cruises and onshore. There is no doubt having a dedicated Wildlife Guide helps idenitify habitat and find species and you never know what you are going to see! Amazing one-off sightings in 2019 include a unique appearance of an adult minke whale with calf; a very rare sighting of a fin whale and several sightings of the snowy owl on St Kilda. Here are some photos sent in by crew and guests - as always, puffins feature greatly and we have seen dolphins and white-tailed eagles on most cruises, often multiple times. Many other sea birds are well represented as well as seals, otters, red deer and cetaceans.
What a wonderful way to explore the waters round Mull. We had a lovely few days and even had some good weather to enjoy the views, the wildlife and just the joy of sailing with the sun and wind on your face. Every one of the crew was great and our fellow travellers added to the overall fun. Thank you to Rob and Will for your understated coolness in charge of the boat, Poppy & Ellie for looking after us so well, and to Dave, the eagle whisperer, for finding white-tailed and golden eagles for us to enjoy. A truly magical experience.
