Guided Wildlife Walks and Holidays on the Isle of Mull, Iona and Ulva

New for 2010!

Twice weekly Wildlife Walks on the Isle of Iona, every Thursday and Sunday, commencing Sunday 2nd May 2010.

‘Corncrakes on Columba’s Isle’

• Search for the elusive and skulking Corncrake, one of Scotland’s rarest Summer migrants that retains a stronghold on the island
   

• Walk in the footsteps of St Columba and feel the presence of Iona’s unique spiritual and cultural atmosphere
   

• Unearth the delights of the machair, one of the rarest habitats in Europe and it’s special bird and plant communities
   

• Discover a landscape moulded by Lewisian Gneiss, among the oldest and hardest rocks in Europe
   

• Marvel at a variety of Arctic-bound migratory waders that refuel at The Bay at the Back of the Ocean in Spring

We meet at 10.15 am at the ferry terminal at Fionnphort and leave Iona at approximately 4.15 pm. The walk is no longer than 3 miles on flat easy terrain, however stout walking shoes or walking boots are essential. You will also require waterproofs and a small rucksack in which to carry your packed lunch and personal items. We highly recommend that you bring binoculars.

The cost of your Corncrake Walk is £45.00 per person which includes return ferry fare to Iona, the renowned home-made ‘Mull Magic’ lunch, with soup, filled roll, fruit and cake made with the best local ingredients and the services of an experienced Walk Leader and Wildlife Expert.

Alternatively you can be collected from your hotel or bed & breakfast base in Tobermory or Salen and be transported to Iona via some of the most stunningly beautiful scenery in Scotland, with expert commentary en route. This service is free of charge but places are limited so early booking is advisable.

A walk with Mull Magic on Iona is a truly inspirational experience, where you will not only observe the landscapes and wildlife of the island, but learn what makes them so special. Mull Magic is enthusiastic and passionate about the social and natural history of Mull and Iona and endeavours to Educate, Inform and Entertain on all of their walks.
