Mull Eagle Watch

Join us on a ranger-led visit to discover Mull’s majestic white-tailed eagles

Mull Eagle Watch offers ranger-led visits to view Britain’s largest and most impressive bird of prey, the white-tailed eagle. There’s also a really good chance of seeing other wildlife including golden eagles, red deer, buzzards, hen harriers and even divers.

Please bring…

We recommend you bring waterproofs, just in case! Midge repellent can be handy too. Bring binoculars if you have them – we have good quality telescopes for you to use.

Anything else I need to know?

The visit will include short walks on gravel tracks and time spent standing in our viewing area.
Please let us know any specific requirements you may have, and closer access can be arranged. We don’t currently have toilet facilities on site.
Well behaved dogs are welcome and we’d much rather them come to say hello than stay in your car.

We work closely with the RSPB to care for and protect the Mull Sea Eagles. You can keep up to date with what’s going on at the nest on our Mull Eagle Watch blog.
