Yellow-browed Warbler
Water Pipit
Port Hellick
Diversion again
Kingfisher
The Log
Fog, mist and drizzle greeted us as we opened the front door
so it would be another day on St Mary’s.
Passing Old Town we picked up 3 Swallow, Greenshank & a Little Egret. At Port Minnick there were another 2 Swallows & a pair of Stonechat. Our first visit to the airport only produced a
Skylark and 11 Snipe flew over.
At the stunning Giants Castle the trips first Wimbrel was
recorded whilst at Porth Hellick there was no sign of the American Golden
Plover. We did gain compensation with a
Water Pipit & our first Scilly Kingfisher.
Passing through the downs we added a Redwing and three
Siskin, then through Normandy there was a stunning Male Black
Redstart, Pheasant Snipe and another Redwing.
A short break at Milford Ducks Ponds finally produced a
Yellow-browed Warbler & yet another Firecrest whilst we finished our at the birding Longstone Café for a superb piece of Apple & fruit cake with two Swallows
passing over as we left.
Myself & the Squire battled out to a 2-2 draw on the
pool table but I managed to dispose of Paul Freestone, self-acclaimed Cornish
pool league player, fairly comfortably.
