A birdwatching visit down to the end of the Mull was top of the list although I was unsure what birds may have arrived on the cliffs. It was soon confirmed, by the noise, that there were already substantial numbers. In the main, Guillemots, Razorbills and Kittiwakes had arrived in good numbers on those impressive cliffs.
A new addition to the end of the Mull is a superb cafe which makes spending dawn to dusk there, easy. There wasn't even a toilet there the last time we visited.
.....but back to the birds
I looked up to see the bird flying away from me and it perched itself on a foothold on the opposite side of the gully
I wrongly thought that would be the end of the excitement for the day, .....but that's for the next post

It's a wonderful area. I spent a very hot day in May there a couple of years ago. Watched the Peregrine eating a seabird. I was told they had had a lot of problems up there with persecution and the guy representing the RSPB seemed very suspicious when he found us watching the bird through the scope.
Great pics, hopeyou were careful on that cliff edge...probably not...great to see the peregrine. Linda
Portpatrick and the Mull of Galloway is a brilliant place, we've stayed at Drumore quick a few times. Great shot of the Peregrine
Nice images of the birds back on the cliffs.

It is a great area Killy and I was the only one tramping about.
I was very careful - that the scope didn't go over Linda.
Thanks Cain, our first visit we stayed in Mrs McKlintick's caravan at Drummore.
Thanks John the birds were an impressive sight.
