Wild Isles Week 2008 will take place on 7th - 14th May. If you would like to be notified of updates, please email passport@wildisles.co.uk to be included on any email bulletins.
Mull and Iona abound with wildlife watching
opportunities. Sea Eagles, puffins, otters, whales, dolphins, deer
and seals are only a small part of what makes the "Wild Isles" a
must for the wildlife enthusiast.
2008 is the sixth year of Wild
Isles and its popularity reflects Mull and Iona's increasing
reputation as one of the UK's top wildlife destinations. Media
coverage of the islands' wildlife over the past few years has been
unprecedented, featuring in several BBC programmes including the
documentary 'Eagle Island' by Mull's own Gordon Buchanan.
Fellow wildlife cameraman Simon King was impressed by
the island whilst filming in 2005,
“While presenting last year’s ‘Springwatch’ from
Mull, I was struck by the incredible richness of Mull’s landscapes and
wildlife. The sea eagles may be the icing on the cake, but there is
also so much more to see and do, especially during ‘Wild Isles 2006’.
Make sure you book your place on one of the events this year!”
