Common sandpiper 10
Year: 262 (golden eagle)
The last day on Mull ended with the sight of a golden eagle chick on the nest, but no adult. I can tick chicks can't I? I'll just have to hope we see adults later in the holiday.
Loads of common sandpipers on Mull, we see them on the beach, on the rocks, on fence post and even sitting on telegraph wires. It's impossible to go anywhere and not hear them.
So ends the first leg of our adventure on Mull, with white tailed eagles and otters still pretty much as elusive as ever, though at least we did see both pretty well. On to Barra and the outer hebrides tomorrow. Who knows what the signal will be like there, but I'll continue to update the blog as and when signal and battery life allows!
