Scillies - Day 5 - Chiffs & a Flycatcher

St Marys Harbour
Red Admiral
Painted Lady
Siberian Chiffchaff (Paul Freestone)

A nice day without any superstars is probably the best summary. A Siberian Chiffchaff was singing throughout the day at Lower Moors. I'd previously not heard one sing which was interesting.

I managed to miss the reported Woodlark for the 10th time, it seems to come and go in a particular bulb field, I'd be trying again for sure. At the top of the Sunnyside trail, just up from the Woodlark, I spent an enjoyable forty minutes watching a Red-breasted Flycatcher.

Only other noteable sightings were good numbers of Painted Lady & Red Admirals and a Portuguese man o'war on Porthcressa Beach.
