      @@AndyGreenWildlife Yes, I can approach through an old growth forest and get to the shoreline but they cruise it so any movement and they leave for another unknown perch. At this point, it seems they might be more conducive to my presence in a kayak so I'm going to try camo on the boat as well as a shore blind. The benefit of the kayak is I can see the shoreline area where they may be burrowed.

    Top advice. As regular visitors to Mull & with a good working knowledge on our last trip we decided to try a van based “wildlife tour” as something different. Maybe learn something new ?? Our “guide” took an instant dislike to us once he learned we knew most of the productive spots & had already seen most of what he had to offer. He spoke to us in a condescending manner throughout the trip & towards the end was just downright rude to us. We walked away with a bad taste in our mouth & a considerable amount of money wasted in our opinion. This operator was happy to advertise all the Mull wildlife but as long as you saw it with him. My advice would be if you have a basic skill & knowledge of the area - do it yourself. Choose wisely. Mull Charters however are consistently superb & highly recommended.

I have certainly heard people mention a couple of different guides that have been underwhelming, would be very interested to know if they are the same as yours. Of course, if you know an area well and are confident then doing it yourself is sensible but an expert on the island should have something to offer and at the very least shouldn’t be condescending or rude, that’s just basic manners! My no1 thought I would echo from the video, if you can get some first hand reviews/testimonials from people you trust about a guide, you’ll hopefully avoid any disappointment like this. Thanks so much for the comment.

Yet in Spain a local tour was suggested for us and he was awsome, it all depends for us if we can afford it, and also if my body will endure a whole day of photography.

    Interesting insight - thanks for sharing. I guess you can't go wrong with Mull or Adam. I've followed Adam on Insta and RUclips for some time, so it was great to see your review. Can I suggest one of them fluffy microphone thingy ma jigs for you, as I struggled to hear what you were saying a lot of the time with the wind noise which was a shame, but other than that - fantastic - one new follower .

    The cost of the trip is £1,450 but does not include travel to Scotland and that is for a twin bedded room. I have always thought that UK wildlife tours were probably not staggeringly good value for money for many photographers. I am based on the South coast so the cost of travel to the West of Scotland is eye-watering but I have quite good and relatively cheap access to airports. So for me many flights are pretty cheap and even the flight included tour option is quite good. I have been visiting the West Coast since the 1960's so am familiar with the environment and wildlife. For many foreign trips local knowledge and wildlife information are essential and it may be difficult or even impossible for the independent traveller to succeed which is not true on Mull.

      @@jaycee6996 it all about your personal preference and experience I guess. I’m from the South East and didn’t find the travel cost to Mull particularly eye watering but I did go out of my way to talk to others on the trip and share the journey etc. In terms of cost, again that’s all about your own preference. When I take into consideration the accommodation, all food and drink, 2 charter trips, car hire and then the hosts time and imparted knowledge and expertise and what I got out of the trip, I was happy with the cost. If you know the area, have done it before, are aware of the wildlife and how to behave around it etc then yep, do it yourself for less for sure.

      You can also spend a lot more on a photo trip like this. In comparison this trip is a bargain.
