Scilly review (6)

24/10/2013

Today we tried for the Short-toed Lark on St Agnes...we failed, as did everyone else. We did however find a couple of Skylarks...and a couple of Cornish Pasties!


A few Chiffchaffs were hanging around the Parsonage in the pouring rain...


...we couldn't find anything "better". Unbeknown to us a WHITE'S THRUSH was lurking in the back garden!!!

We stayed on St Mary's today. Luckily news of a Sub-alpine Warbler broke. Within 30 minutes we were enjoying great views . My second record for Scilly having seen one in 2001...



Late afternoon we returned to Lower Moors to see if the Spotted Crake was showing...it was...



Our trip was coming to an end. We'll be back next year on the 18th...
