Chaffinch and Yellowhammer at Twelve Oaks

Garden Bird List

Prepared by us and guests over the last few years

Robin

Whilst enjoying your stay with us at our self catering accommodation sit back and enjoy your breakfast and watch some of our garden birds feed from the bird table or off the ground. Their antics can be quite amusing, whilst equally their behaviour can be very aggressive displaying outstretched wings towards one another especially if hungry.

We encourage our guests to record their Mull bird and wildlife sightings in the diary provided at Twelve Oaks. The list below has been prepared by us and guests over the last few years and lists all the birds that have been seen either in or from our Twelve Oaks garden.
