WILDLIFE

There is a variety of wildlife that can be seen throughout Skye. We were lucky to get a good sighting of a family of otters on a walk from Camasunary to Ruba an Dunan which we filmed and put on youtube.

Minke Whale

From May to October Minke Whales can be seen from the cliffs near the cottage, also basking sharks, dolphins and porpoises.

Seals

In Loch Pooltiel there are both common and grey seals.

Peregrine

Peregrines can be seen on cliffs in the area.

Deer

The deer population on Skye has increased in the past ten years and can be seen on the moors in most areas.

Adder

An adder we photographed in Dalavil woods. Although they can give a poisonous bite, they are quite harmless unless provoked.

Oystercatcher

Probably the noisiest shore bird, but very handsome!

Otters

Otters are less shy here than at inland river habitats. The best time to see them is in the early morning or evening or at low tide, along the coast throughout Skye. If you are on a sandy or muddy shore look for their prints. We photographed this one at Brother's point.
