Hello Jim
Finally got my act together to book today as we already had hols booked for 2023 so thank you for sorting earlier for 2024.
For anyone going on to Mull - we go every few years - and the success story early June 2023 compared to previous visits was how many easy sightings of hen harriers, especially females, we had around the island. There's no organised shooting, the RSPB works with the farmers, so they are becoming more common there. We even had one go over the busy village car park at Ffionnport on a sunny teatime. I saw all but one male from the car.
Thank you
Jacquie

We've paid our deposit yesterday. The nice lady on the phone said there are 13 takers so far, so it's looking good to go ahead. ( see October newsletter for details)

Was saying to a pal awhile back wouldn't mind visiting Mull again for a few weeks or my favourite part of Scotland Morvern.
Will keep it in mind but depends on lots of things as you well know.

It just occurred that some enthusiasts with time on their hands might want to skip the coach trip back and go for a few days to somewhere like Mull or one of the islands to catch up with corncrakes etc.
