If you’re staying at Lenavore, we always recommend a walk to the American Monument!

Situated on the cliffs of the Mull of Oa, you can see it in the distance from the cottage window.

Walk or drive to the RSPB car park and from there follow the pathway…

✨ You can see across to Kintyre and Ireland on a clear day!

✨ Take the circular walk back for more dramatic coastal scenery.

✨ Look out for golden eagles, chough, wild goats and highland cows!

The perfect Islay wildlife base 🧡

Whether you’re a birdwatcher, wildlife lover or just enjoy being around nature, Lenavore Cottage is the perfect place to stay!

Surrounded by the RSPB Mull of Oa nature reserve, there is plenty to see ☺️

✨ Roe Deer - often spotted around the cottage and by the roadside, although a little shy here on Islay

✨ Golden Eagle - the Mull of Oa is an amazing place to spot this majestic birds, with them frequently seen from the Monument trail, as well as soaring over the cottage

✨ Stonechat - a gorgeous little bird regularly spotted directly around the cottage. You’ll hear them chatting away on the fences and see them catching inspects

✨ Brown Hare - these beautiful golden mammals are often spotted hopping around in the fields or on the roadside, with great numbers on the Oa

✨ Barn Owl - it’s always a real treat to see a barn owl around Lenavore. So keep an eye out around dawn and dusk, or listen for the screeches on an evening too

✨ White-Tailed Eagle - these mighty birds are unmissable when they are around, so listen for the alarm calls of other birds nearby! Nothing beats seeing one of these up close

✨ Hen Harrier - Islay is a real stronghold for these rare raptors, and we are lucky enough to see them gliding around the moorland. Both the ghostly males and the ring-tailed females

✨ Red Deer - By far the most populous deer on the Mull of Oa, and around the cottage. You can see the mighty stags and their hinds all around, particularly around dawn and dusk

✨ Buzzard - A stunning raptor which you hear ‘mewing’ in the sky. A frequent visitor, which you might spot sitting on the fence posts

Would you fancy a wildlife week on Islay?
