An incredible day with Alex & Blair of Mull Charters on the Isle of Mull.
Saw 11 White-Tailed Eagles, what an incredible bird!

The only bird of prey I saw growing up in Norfolk in the late 70’s/early 80’s was the Kestrel. So it’s great to see Kites most days here in Newmarket.

Went to work in Oz in the late 80’s and was indignant that smokers had a break called ‘smoko’ but if you didn’t 🚬 you had to carry on working, nearly took it up as a f*ck you.

8:30 Pontin Boy. He might well have been the 1st racehorse I rode, I was riding out during the school holidays for HTJ as my sister worked there. At 5’4” and 6stone I could hardly get my legs around him! I’m sure some of the apprentices there back then would remember him fondly.
Thanks for posting
