Mull and Long Tailed Skua

Hello,

I have been traveling to Mull today. On the crossing there was a fair amount of birds. There were Black Headed Gull, Herring Gull, Lesser and Greater Blacked Back Gull, Kittiwake, a Fulmar, Gannet, Cormerant, Shag, Black Guillemot, 30+ Manx Shearwater and a single Long Tailed Skua!

When we had arrived in Mull we had located 23 Fieldfare and Blackbird in some bushes and feeding on the floor. There wer plenty of Corvids on a carcos near the Thrushes, the Corvids were Jackdaw, Hooded and Carrion Crow also a single Raven was taking good amounts of food. We pulled over again 100 yards down the road to find Eider and Tufted Duck. Also there was a couple of Oystercatcher and Grey Heron.

When we had arrived at the House two White Tailed Eagles came over at quite a high altitude. In the meanwhile Wheatear, Whinchat and Stonechat were feeding themselves and young! These were the best species but I have reached 36 species!

Regards,

Jacob
