A PROJECT based on the Isle of Mull has scooped a top prize at the RSPB’s Nature of Scotland Awards, which was hosted by BBC Springwatch presenter Chris Packham in Edinburgh last week.
Mull Eagle Watch, which collected the Nature Tourism Award, sponsored by Sustrans Scotland, offers ranger-led visits on the island to view iconic white-tailed eagles at their nest. This year, for the first time, the partnership project is being led by community woodland groups.
The Nature of Scotland Awards are held annually and are organised by RSPB Scotland to reward the most impressive people and projects working to conserve wildlife across the country.
