A reasonable forecast persuaded us to re-mortgage the house for a four hour boat trip out of Tobermory today. Cetaceans were a possibility and we did see a few Harbour Porpoise, though their short, tight rolls in choppy waters made them impossible to photograph. The boat crossed the sound of Mull to pass under the cliffs of the Ardnamurchan peninsular, mainland Britain's most westerly point, and then back down the east coast of Mull, where a single Grey Seal swam amongst a colony of Commons.

This is as close as I came to photographing Harbour Porpoise |
Auks and a Great Northern Diver provided the main bird interest up to this point. Then I saw two barn doors with tails flying over the Sound - immature White-tailed Eagles. A few distant pictures were possible before they headed down the coast towards Ardmore Point, where they were joined by two more White-tailed and a Golden Eagle. On rounding the point, an adult White-tailed could be seen sitting in a tree, being mobbed by a Hooded Crow.
