Event details
About the event
The Isle of Mull is the second-largest island of the Inner Hebrides, accessible by ferry from the small town of Oban. The island is rugged, remote, and teeming with wildlife, including coastally-adapted Eurasian otters, white-tailed sea eagles, pine martens, bottlenose dolphins and common dolphins. Small, winding roads take you along the 480km of coastline, including several stunning coastal lochs – perfect feeding grounds for otters and eagles.
Emma Fennell Hodson fell in love with the Isle of Mull, and has returned several times to film and enjoy the wildlife there. She has made several short films about wildlife on the Island and will be talking about the amazing wildlife that can be found on the island, sharing top tips for spotting some of it’s more elusive residents and giving information about some of the fantastic organisations working to protect and safeguard Mull’s breathtaking biodiversity.
Emma is a zoologist and community engagement officer, with a passion for wildlife filmmaking and rewilding.
The Baptist Church entrance is set back off the High Street, opposite the Coventry Building Society and close to the Queen Charlton turn off. Free parking in Ashton Way car park.
We will also be selling bird food, seasonal items, second hand books and greetings cards.
