Otter Cub Rescue

Mull Otter Group received a call yesterday about an otter cub at Glenforsa.  The cub had not moved for some time and was not very responsive so the decision was taken to look after it. This is always a carefully considered decision – it would be all too easy to interfere in a situation where […]

Nature Trails and Beach Cleans

What a busy day MOG had yesterday. First we joined Lochdonhead Primary school at their nature trail. A great opportunity for a photo at the otter sculpture and otter information board. Then it was over to Lochbuie for the Great British Beach Clean, where the children helped us survey a 100m stretch of beach. To […]

Mega Beach Clean!

Mull Otter Group had a very exhausting day on Sunday 15th April. We trekked to the area just before MacKinnon’s Cave on the west coast of the Isle of Mull and gathered up years of plastic debris that had been washed in from the sea. We created a monstrous pile of rubbish which received a […]

More Roadside Reflectors to Help Otters

MOG had a very busy day on Sunday installing more roadside reflectors near Garmony, and at Inverlussa. The hope is that at night time otters will see the reflection of car headlights and be deterred from crossing the road until the car passes. We also found time to properly install our otter sculpture at the […]

Why Did the Otter Cross the Road? – Second Reflector Installation

Just like the chicken, it wanted to get to the other side! Otters need to cross the roads which lie between the feeding area on the shore, and the places where they rest and get fresh water which are further inland. We wish they would wait until it’s safe to cross the road, or always […]

Great British Beach Clean

For what we believe to be the first time ever the Great British Beach Clean came to Mull on Saturday 17th. MOG’s very own ‘Mull Adopt-a-Beach’ took part in this important initiative by the Marine Conservation Society in order to add to the important data that it collects on marine litter.  The data is used […]

Lochbuie Beach Clean

Yesterday, the Mull Otter Group returned to Lochbuie to finish the beach clean they began on March 6th. Despite the fact that only 4 people turned up, we managed to clear the main beach at Laggan Sands. About 25 bags of rubbish were collected along with the usual collection of larger items such as fishing […]

Kinloch Otter Crossing Road Sign

Otter crossing road sign, Kinloch, Isle of Mull

Today the Mull Otter Group completed the erection of their second road sign on Mull that alerts motorists to the fact that otters cross our roads. This road sign is at the Kinloch junction, just before Pennyghael, and the hope is that otters on the South of the island will now be a little less […]
