Another big walking day that resulted in a lifer for the Squire. A Short-toed Lark was duly added to his life list when we made a hasty second walk to the north part of the island. 

A wagtail gave a strange call when passing the riding stables. The majority decided (based on hearing call and long range images) it was probably just a late Yellow Wagtail.

Other sightings included a Greylag (Scilly rarity), Russian White-fronted Goose, Glossy Ibis and a Whinchat (that no one else saw during week).
