Wildlife Update

There are plenty of deer in evidence on the Garvellach Islands.
The seals have almost finished their moult and have changed from patchy brown in colour to steel grey/blue. The pups are now feeding independently and growing fast and it is now difficult to differentiate between pups and yearlings. The mothers are regaining weight and are not so thin now that they have stopped feeding their young.
We have had two sightings of eagles this week. The first was of a pair of golden eagles in flight and the second of a young golden eagle near the north point of Kerrera. The young eagle was seen on two consecutive days.
