Product Description
A hauntingly beautiful wildlife film made for BBC's Natural World. Spectacular shots of eagles in the nest, of abundant marine life and of the dramatic Scottish landscape. Expert cameraman and presenter Gordon Buchanan returns to his homeland to rediscover its stunning wildlife and magnificent scenery. The Isle of Mull has the highest density of eagles in the United Kingdom, otters in every bay and even whales, sharks and dolphins in the surrounding seas. Gordon's specific mission is to find and film the Sea Eagle, the biggest bird of prey in Europe and one that has only recently returned to the Isle of Mull. Mull also has an exceptional population of Golden Eagles and truly deserves the name Eagle Island. Eagle Island gives Gordon some of his favourite wildlife moments to compare with anything he has seen in Africa, India or South America. "This is the best place in the world. To be back here is just the most fantastic opportunity."

This DVD documents the return of the film maker to his homeland of Mull, where he spends a year primarily in search of Sea Eagles, Otters and Minke Whales. The documentary captures not only the seasonal changes and infamous Scottish weather, but brings to life both the breathtaking scenery on Mull, as well as the abundance of wildlife. The film makers' passion and love for both Mull and it's wild life is plain to see, but is not overwhelming or sentimentalist, instead it allows the viewer to visually develop the same love of Mull as the film maker himself.There are some simply remarkable images of Sea Eagles,Golden Eagles, Otters, Seals, Whales and Basking Sharks amongst others, all set against the stunning back drop of Mull itself.This is a delight for anyone interested in Wildlife and/or the west of Scotland.

This is a great film that sees Gordon Buchanan exploring the island where he grew up. Gordon spent many years filming in the Amazon basin with the late Nick Gordon who together brought incredible moving pictures to our TV screens in the form of 'Survival'.
Gordon returns to Mull and spends a year filming a diverse range of wildlife on the island. The photography is fantastic, particularly the time lapse sequences. The music score is equally as good and really adds to the texture and style of the whole film.
Gordon's unobtrusive presenting style is refreshing and honest. You won't find any cheap celebrity gimmicks or dodgy jokes here.
This is good, honest wildlife programming at its best. We need more films like this on our TV screens. If your into British wildlife programmes, you will watch this again and again.
My only complaint would be that, at the time of writing it is listed at £14.99, which in my eyes is a little steep.

This DVD is fantastic, Have seen a lot of filming by Gorden Buchanon over the years, including footage on Spring watch.
It was nice to see Gorden return to Mull where he grew up and seeing the beautiful filming of the Sea Eagles, Otters, Dolphins and Basking sharks was wonderful,not to mention the lovely scenery of Mull itself.
I would recommend everyone watch this DVD at least once.
