| There's worse places to be |
A Black Redstart had been reported at the Peninnis end but I couldn't find it. I did add Rock Pipit and Stonechat though. Earlier a Marsh Harrier had flown over Morning Point.
A Bird reported as a Garden Warbler in the Standing Stones field was now mooted to be Booted? It didn't develop like many claims on Scilly. Expectation levels! ALWAYS better to flag things up though.
We had a late lunch back at the Flat with nothing else of note being seen...or reported. It's quiet but that's OK.... we're here! Plenty of time for things to liven up which it no doubt will.
Another part of Island life is the unpredictable nature of services and that includes the Internet... which has temporarily crashed. Hence I'm writing this from the Shelter on Town Bay. Nothing of interest demanding another yomp late afternoon, so it's a coffee and preparation for our much anticipated first visit to the Atlantic. I'm keen but I'm not stupid!? It IS our Holiday.

The long walk back from Old Town after a 3.5 hour vigil took it out of me I don't mind admitting. Enjoyable though.
Birds available today include the wonderful Firecrest but none are nearby. I hope to connect at some point?
A VEERY has just been found on the Inner Hebrides at Islay. Brings back memories of my Trip to Muck in November 2011. Arriving on less than favourable winds?
The Easterlies are set to continue for the next few days but things will change, they always do...
Trip Total - 45
