    I can only repeat Delia's advice about buying Gordon Hamalett's book. Will be invaluable for the area you want. Sandra

    Good to read your report, Gordon. I expect much of this movement will be over by the time we get up there:- Mull from 20th Sept/Boat from 27th but this report has just whetted my appetite. Sandra

    I'd make room on your shelves for both books, Jim. The second version is much more than an update - there are whole new chapters. Happy birding in Scotland. Sandra

    We went out on the MV Stardust in October. There didn't seem to be any competition between the boat skippers. They kept a decent distance between each other and when they moored they kept this distance. Only two fish from each boat are allowed to be thrown, if I remember correctly. The...

    Yes, we stay between Loch na Kael & Loch Ba on the Gruline estate so we have heard about the WTE at first hand. We would be very interested in seeing the sheets you mention if that is possible. Do you need my email address? Thanks in advance Sandra

    Yes I'll post a trip report Rich, though I can't see it being a lot different from previous trips. We've covered nearly the whole areas both on Mull & Boat but I suppose there's usually one surprise or another. Last year we had a few beautiful fallow deer from the kitchen window on Mull. So...

    We will - thanks. Always so look forward to our Scotland time - as much as we do Lesvos. All those damp autumny smells;wellies & cags;waterfalls after rain; picnic out of the back of the car; the lovely drive through the mountains from Corran ferry to Lochaline; lighting a log fire each...

    Tell me about it! We will be back there on Saturday for a week - staying on our favourite estate in the centre of the island - great for touring sections of it in a day. Must admit that we've never seen anywhere near as many birds as quoted at Lochdon but we'll keep trying. Sandra

    "Leaves on its face" !!! You photographers aren't half picky. That's a brilliant photo Marcus. I had to go and look at it again when you mentioned the leaves. And you could have staked something like this out for a day and not got such a view. How lucky were you. Sandra
