While visiting Mull for the eagles would have been more than worth it on it's own, we decided to explore a couple of lochs in the search for perhaps Mull's most famous resident; the Otter.
We had plenty of time to get back to the cottage for the Pine Marten that evening, so it seemed rude not to at least try.
Having had little success for the first three days the first time I visited Mull I wasn't going to get my hopes up, content with the idea that if we saw one through the binoculars I'd be happy.
So we travelled along the north side of Loch na Keal from the Ulva ferry terminal stopping where we could to look - no joy.
