From North Uist to Mull with birds all the way. BBSG’s chairman will, with no sense of self indulgence, describe his 2023 holiday of a lifetime. From corncrakes on Benbecula, short eared owls on South Uist to puffins and vast colonies of guillemots on Lungha in the Treshnish Isles (photo) Brian will accompany his talk with photographs of not just the birds but the glorious white sandy beaches of Iona and elsewhere. Always with blue sky and blue sea. Every birder familiar with this part of Scotland will know that it is a gem of a place with eagles and massive seabird colonies set in spectacular scenery. Anybody who hasn’t experienced this part of the world will want to afterwards.
As usual the talk will be at The Friends Meeting House in Bakewell at 7.30pm preceded by a short AGM. Visitors are welcome to attend the AGM or arrive a little later at 7.45pm. Friends Meeting House is at the end of Chapel Row off Matlock Street in Bakewell next to the Methodist Church, almost opposite the Co-op filling station. DE45 1EL. Guests are always welcome to our talks (£4) where they can discover more about our talks and outdoor meetings to local birding hot spots which this year start on April 10th.
