| Why
come in Winter?
Winter brings breathtaking
sunsets and sunrise's and a sense of solitude that the visitor can
almost touch. Otters are having their young at this time of year to
coincide with the warmer waters that the Gulf Stream brings. There
are wintering ducks on sea lochs and estuaries and great northern
divers in abundance, here to escape the colder weather in Iceland.
golden eagles and sea eagles are territorial all year round and
because of the Islands peacefulness there are close encounters to be
had with both species. Red deer are very easy to see and in the
mountains ptarmigan and mountain hares are in their winter coats.
Barnacle geese and Greenland white fronted geese have returned from
their arctic breeding grounds and though we do not often see snow in
the Hebrides, our highest mountain Ben More usually has snow on it
from October to May and this can make for a fantastic backdrop on a
sunny and windless day in winter as it rises majestically from the
sea. Maybe the best reason to choose the winter is because
sighting's can be unexpected and unique and wildlife is often where
it should not be!!

Winter Walking Breaks
There's no need to hang up your walking boots just because Summer is over. Get away from it all and enjoy a short weekend walking break on Mull as walking in Winter is invigorating, peaceful and beautiful. Take time out to enjoy the stunning seascapes, relish the pure air and be captivated by Mull's amazing wildlife. The seals, otters and eagles are still here but the midges have gone. Wildlife experts rate Winter as the best time to view the wildlife, the bracken has disappeared, the trees are bare and animals are hungry. These short weekend breaks will give you a taste of winter walking and Mull's wildlife at its best. For more information and dates please click on the link below.
