SUMMARY:Isle of Mull - Otter Workshop 21-11-26
DESCRIPTION:Isle of Mull – Otter Workshop \nLocation: Isle of Mull \nThis is a 4 day workshop to give you the best opportunity to photograph otters. \nThe Isle of Mull has a very healthy population of Otters yet they can be both elusive and frustrating. Sightings can never be guaranteed\, and many frustrating hours can be spent walking or driving and searching the coastline. \nOtters are mythical creatures and many people have never seen an Otter. However\, they have often seen their signs\, i.e. their spraint or droppings. Here on Mull\, the otter hunts during the day and they are more governed by the state of the tide\, than whether it is morning or night. Otters are only occasionally seen in fresh water here\, and it is just offshore near seaweed covered rocks where you will most likely see one. \nThey find their prey mostly in the sea\, but they are not sea otters\, a different species found on the Pacific coast. The Mull otter is the Eurasian otter\, Lutra lutra\, a member of the Mustelid family which also includes Badgers\, Mink and Pine Marten. The Eurasian Otter is the only species of otter in the UK\, occupying sea\, rivers and lakes across the country. An adult otter will be about 1-1.2 metres long from tip of the nose to end of the tail. \nWhen the sea is calm\, it may be easier to spot an otter swimming on the surface while fishing. However wild the weather\, otters must try to look for food\, so otters can be seen in all weathers at all times of the day. \nThis workshop is designed to give you the best opportunity to photograph otters. Nothing is guaranteed\, but we will search for them in the best locations. You will be given advice on the correct fieldcraft to use\, what signs to look for and the best settings to capture some incredible otter images\, \nMull also has a wealth of other wildlife and away from the otters we will attempt to find White Tailed Eagle\, Golden Eagle\, Hen Harrier\, Short eared Owl and Red Deer. \nThe Schedule Will be as follows:\nDay 1: Arrival (approx. 1pm)– Afternoon/Evening Otters\nDay 2: Full Day Otters\nDay 3: Full Day Otters\nDay 4: Departure (approx. 1pm) – Early morning Otters \nThe price includes all transport whilst on the Isle of Mull and all photographic guiding. \nThe price does not include accommodation. \nIt also excludes all meals.
