Gulls were the first to check out the boat...

The first of our two trips aboard Mull Charters took us into Loch na Keal. While I'm familiar with this Loch from the shore edge, having watched many otters there, it was great to see the area from the water's perspective.

A few different species of gull were the first to arrive at the boat to check out any opportunities for food. It gave a good practice run for photographing birds in flight before the eagles arrived.
