The end of October always sees me heading out to the Isles of Scilly for the traditional "Teachers' Week". I've seen some nice birds on the Friday before I fly over the years and this year proved to be no exception as I undertook birding around the Hayle Estuary before staying overnight.
My target bird was a Lesser Yellowlegs which showed fantastically in Copperhouse Creek. I then meandered around the estuary, which has a lovely selection of birds which included Greenshank, Ringed Plover, Wigeon, Teal, Dunlin, Little Egret and a Little Stint. The Little Stint appeared to show some webbing, causing a crazy five minutes, but it must have been the angle of the sun.
An excellent start to my week off work.
