Scotland Holiday Day 5 – 10th July 2012 : Sea Eagles at Loch Na Keal
The previous day we had gone to Glen Seilisdeir to see the White-tailed Eagle’s nest in the forest bu we wanted to have a closer experience of these birds so to this end we had also booked a boat trip with Mull Charters who did 10am boat trips up Loch Na Keal to the area where the eagles fished.This involved us driving down to Salen Bay and turning left to cross the island at it narrowest point to get to Gruline and then we took the B8073 to the Ulva Ferry. As well as being the pier for the short hop over to Ulva which is supposed to be a very beautiful island, it was also the setting off point for our boat trip. As we stood waiting for our boat and gazing into the harbour where there were a few small boats moored another person waiting for the same boat as us pointed out to us an otter frolicking in the water of the harbour !
