Wild turkeys will scrape the leaf litter to find insects and nuts. Here are some examples of scrapes I found associated with some turkey scat in my other photos.
**** I went back to Mull in 2009, you can read about second, and much improved, Otter encounters here****
Mull is home to many eagles and wild otters. Whilst we didn't see any eagles we saw a family of otters on the final morning whilst we were waiting for the ferry to take us back to the mainland. It was a rush against time as we could see the ferry coming but we just had to try and get some shots of an otter in the wild! This one came back in to shore with a huge fish! The lighting was all wrong as the sun was in the wrong place and in my excitement of seeing this in the wild I didn't notice I chopped his tail off! But, I am still more than happy to have any photos of the experience at all!
None of my otter shots are really printable as they are high ISO and not sharp enough for me, however they serve as a brilliant reminder to the perfect end to the holiday!
Another walk by the river and here they are ... a collection of Wild Hops, sprawling through a tree!
Wild hops are unobtrusive climbers in hedgerow and thickets and are sometimes found twirling up telegraph poles!
Hops are, of course, most famous for being used in brewing beer. However, it has been used down the centuries in a variety of ways: the Roman naturalist Pliny, describes it being eaten much like we eat asparagus today. It has also been used as a herb and to produce brown dye.
And, of more salient interest to the beer drinker ...
Adnams has launched a county-wide appeal for donations of wild and garden hops and is urging beer lovers to report sightings of them growing to help create a new Wild Hop beer, due to be launched this autumn.

I was walking along this trail near my wife's office (I was picking her up and killing some time before meeting her) and I noticed this flower lit up by the late afternoon sun. I hustled back, got my tripod and took a few pictures.
