Peregrine Falcons

Good sightings already this morning, not from the boat but from the Explore Mull desk in the Harbour Visitor Centre in Tobermory. Three Peregrine Falcons flew over; one of them a presumed juvenile was calling loudly while the other two were more interested in going after the pigeons roosting in the church tower.

The Isles of Mull and Iona have become established as the premier wildlife
tourism destination in the United Kingdom in recent decades. Forged by fire and
scultped by ice, the landscapes of Mull have been evolving for the past 60
million years into what are regarded as some of the most beguiling and
exhilarating scenery in Western Europe.The seas around these islands,
with its abundance of marine mammals and birds further enhances a biodiversity
that is unrivalled and helps generate millions of pounds every year for the
local economy.
