In early January, we were delighted to welcome David Lindo, aka The Urban Birder and Russell Spencer, brilliant photographer to Mull - a first for both of them. Within half an hour of landing on Mull we had a juvenile sea eagle fly past - that set the tone for the week. Lots of ticks including David's first real Scottish golden eagle, not one, but two doing a great display for us. Whilst he was here David gave a talk to the Isle of Mull Bird Club about his own patch in London, The Scrubs - famous for the prison but for David his little bit of birding paradise. It was so refreshing to hear his passion and love for this area of London that many people would not even give a second glance to - but look deeper and you can find all sorts of treasures. It certainly made me look deeper on my recent trip to London and spotted a grey heron flying over the North Circular! It was a fantastic week and you couldnt meet two nicer guys - come back soon!
