10 best coastal birdwatching spots

For sea eagles

Isle of Mull, Inner Hebrides

Mull has around 300 miles of coastline, with sandy beaches and sea lochs that attract migrating waders, but the real attraction is the white-tailed sea eagle's nest at Loch Frisa. An RSPB hide opens from July to September (accessible via a forest track) - bring binoculars to see these glorious birds (left) and their chicks in detail.

Call for hide opening times (01688 302038); walking trails open all year. Mull visitor centre (08707 200625).
