WHITE-TAILED EAGLE

27-08-2019 Mull

The obligatory trip to Mull whilst at Ardnamurchan and we went out with Mull Charters. Weather was not great as it was overcast and light rain. Nevertheless we saw at least four WTE. It is the best way to get close to the birds but we also saw at least another three birds at different locations on the peninsula during our stay.

PINE MARTEN

August 24th - 30th 2019 - Glenborrowdale, Ardnamurchan 

My first time on the peninsula, my first and second Pine Marten (the one in daylight has a different coat and distinct left ear notch) and my first attempt at night photography! 

Along with Badgers, these lovely animals appeared in the garden of our holiday cottage which was nice and convenient, although not easy, as I spent many hours camped out overnight in my hide to get the shots. There was only one daytime visit during our stay and this was late at 8.30pm so low light conditions. A number of the shots are 4K video grabs (video to follow at some point).
