More from Mull

Loch Na Keal had a pair of Golden Eagle, which gave very distant views. Then it was a walk around the bay of Craignure looking for Otters, didn’t see one but Hooded Crows were around. There were also a few Common Gull with chicks, the adult gulls attacked if you got to close so I backed off.
At Grasspoint, there were loads of Orchids and Golden-ringed Dragonfly, and a Beautiful Demoiselle Damselfly
A couple of Red Deer Stag were seen on the way to Croggan where we went looking for Otters again, and yet again none were seen however Ringed Plover were running around on the shoreline. On the way back from Croggan, we came across this Common Sandpiper calling from a tree branch. Back at the cottage, our host Geoff had this Garden Tiger Moth, which he and his son had kept from a caterpillar, for me to photograph, a nice surprise on our return.
