Seal Pups

The number of seal pups born on Sgeir Dhon this year has been 10 which is good news for this colony.

The pups are growing at an alarming rate and will soon be hard to distinguish from the young adolescents. Any time now the mothers will abandon them to fend for themselves, while they try to rebuild their own condition prior to the mating season.

June, a Great Month For Wildlife Watching

June ended on a high note on Mara Mhor with two very successful day cruises during which dolphins surrounded the boat just south of Oban.
Later, on one of the cruises, the sea eagle and her chick were seen.
The passengers were also treated to close encounters with the new born seal pups and were able to watch while a mother fed her pup.
