Natural History
The island is home to over 250 different bird species including the White-tailed Eagle, which was reintroduced in the nearby Island of Rùm and migrated to Mull, where it now has a stronghold. Basking sharks, Minke whales, porpoises and dolphins are among the sea life that can be seen on boat tours from Mull.
The Isle of Mull is a popular destination for naturalists and photographers being one of the primary spots in the UK for seeing some of Britain's more elusive species. The island is home to a thriving population of otters (Lutra lutra) that live in coastal habitat, hunting during the day.
The island is also home to several birds of prey such as Hen Harriers, Golden Eagles and Short eared owl, all difficult species to see throughout the UK other than Mull.
