Left Oban on the lunchtime ferry. Black guillemots in the harbour, a few gannets on the sea as we sailed across to Mull.
Arrived in Tobermory just after lunch today. Shopping etc kept me busy till 6pm when I set out for my first birding session of the week.
I parked near the Mishnish Lochs. Several great black-backed gulls visited and after bathing flew off. Sands martins were flying low over the water and a female teal was disturbed by a hooded crow and a whitethroat was flitting about in some bushes.
As I watched a GBBG fly off I noticed a large bird in the sky over a hill.
Just a dot in the sky
My first white-tailed eagle of the trip. My next stop was the hide at Loch Torr.
No sign of any birds of prey, just sand martins flying low over the water. What will tomorrow bring?
