 The best way to view nesting sea birds, such as Puffin, Razorbill,
Guillemot and Kittiwake, is to take a boat trip to the
Treshnish
Isles in late spring or early summer.
Great Northern Divers can be seen in the spring on sea-lochs,
displaying their summer plumage before pairing off to breed. Red-throated
and Black-throated Divers are much rarer but are occasionally seen. Little
Grebe breed by some of the inland lochs and there have been regular sightings
of the Slavonian Grebe. For more details
click here to take a look at the
excellent Mull Birds website. It is very
informative and has all the latest birds
sightings along with a photo gallery and
listings of all the birds recorded on
Mull. Mute and Whooper Swans
reside on the island and quite a large
number of Whooper Swans migrate through
the area.
Many ducks nest or over-winter here, one of the most attractive being
the Eider. A variety of geese visit the island, either during migration
or to pass the winter months.
