The Isle of Mull Bird Club
The Isle of Mull Bird Club is a non profit making organisation open to all. Our aim is to advance the knowledge of the public in the study of birds and natural history in a social context. The club was inaugurated by Alan Spellman, Len White and Peter Hall in 2001.
Regular meetings are held from October to April, usually in the Craignure Village Hall and there may be occasional meetings during the summer months. Several field trips usually take place each year both on and off the island. Notices advertising our meetings will be placed in “Round & About” and via e-mail to members, as well as this website.
The club is open to all ages and groups and visitors will be made very welcome. Join here.
Bird sightings on Mull
If you see an unusual or rare bird on Mull please let the Mull Bird Recorder have the details. You can e-mail him (see link on left) or visit his website at Mullbirds.com. All records are passed on to Paul Daw, the Bird Recorder for Argyll & Bute.
A field trip to Lunga on Saturday 16th June and another on Saturday 23rd June are being arranged. See Meetings Page for details.
Mull Eagle Watch
From Monday 2nd April 2012 Mull Eagle Watch will be at a new and exciting location. The new location this year is at Glen Seilisdeir amongst stunning forestry, lochs and a whole host of wildlife.
Mull Eagle Watch can promise you a fantastic view of a pair of nesting white-tailed eagles. Booking is essential and can be made through the Visit Scotland Information Centre at Craignure on 01680 812556.
Trips run Monday to Friday at 10.00 and 13.00. You will be given details of when and where to meet when you book your place on the trip but the rendezvous for the start of your adventure is approx. ½ km up the Forestry Commission Scotland track at Glen Seilisdeir off the B8035 Salen scenic route. There'll be signs from the road to the track. You'll drive up to the hide, guided by the ranger, in your own car. Each trip lasts two hours. Adult tickets (including RSPB members) cost £6. If you're under 16, your ticket costs £3. If you live on Mull, it's free. Please pay the ranger on the day by cash or cheque ('Mull & Iona Community Trust'). Sorry, we don't have a card machine at the moment.
