I do love a Black Redstart
The quietest day of the trip so far and although the boats were running we weren't tempted by island hopping with the sea looking very lively.
The continuation of the westerlies meant there were very few migrants to be seen across the island. Two lengthy walks either side of lunch resulted in very little bar a Yellow-browed, Greenshank, Little Egret, Black Redstart whilst I had a couple of Kittiwakes sail past when I was up at Peninnis Head.
I spent a quiet hour in Holy Vale watching three Black Redstarts going about their business, always very enjoyable.
Probably the biggest rarity of the day was the Glossy Ibis that we finally managed to see off Green Lane. It proved a difficult bird to catch up with as it was so mobile.
Our group evening meal at the Atlantic was brought forward 24 hours due to the bad weather forecast for Saturday meaning Paul, Adam & Brad were departing early.
