A stunning evening at the Turks Head
It would be foolish to go on any walk around the Scillies without your binos but in all honesty all the action is on the sea at this time of year. We walked approx 45 miles during our week mainly around the perimeter of St Marys, Bryher, St Martins and Tresco. Despite visiting five times previously this was the first time I had visited St Martins and fully walked around Bryher.
We undertook a trip out to Bishop's lighthouse where we saw Common Terns, huge numbers of seals, Manx Shearwater, Fulmer, Great Black-backed Gulls and four Sunfish. The Red Squirrels & Golden Phesants at Tresco Abbey Gardens were great to see at close quarters.
Also sightings around the islands were Ringed Plover, Rock & Meadow Pipit, Stonechat, Sandwich Tern, Common Tern, Common Sandpiper, Shag, Cormorant, Chiffchaff, Blackcap, House Sparrow, Swallow, Blackbird, Song Thrush & Linnet.
