We started the day by
meeting up with Paul, Adam, Brad and Jake before heading down to Penzanze to
get the Scillionian out to St Marys. A drake Eider was feeding in harbour
giving us an easy year tick.
There was a swell on the crossing but I felt surprisingly well. Sightings from the boat
included a Red-throated Diver, 3 Great Skua, passage of Razorbills &
Guillimots, 25+ Great Shearwater, a Sooty Shearwater & groups of huge Atlantic Bluefin Tuna.
Red Kite & Merlin
were quickly bagged within the first fifteen minutes on the island, both I’d
not seen there before. We then tried the Garrison followed by Lower Moors for an extended walk
dipping a Melodious Warbler but recording 3 Yellow-browed Warblers, 2
Fieldfare, a Cetti’s Warbler & a Snipe.
