Scilly 25 - Day 8

Moving Day complete

Unfortunately Birds weren't moving today. To be honest I wasn't disappointed as we enjoyed a leisurely day around Town and Porthcressa Bay...

The Weather was superb, a light Southwesterly and glorious sunshine at around 18c. I'm storing up brownie points for the Bad/Good Birding weather forecast over the weekend and beyond!?

Unsurprisingly no additions to the Trip List. There were Birds available e.g. Wryneck and Common Rosefinch but the walks were to stiff for yours truly...this Trip. 

Birthday meal for the Good Lady this evening (more points scored), so while I'm waiting for her I thought I'd give myself a boost for the coming week with a brief list of Birds I've seen in or around these dates (18th - 25th) previously. Not a boast (would I?) just a fact...

You can see the attraction!!! Bearing in mind some followers will be more than aware of this...others won't. The next SEVEN days are unpredictable BUT odds are good for something "decent" to turn up? If not, it's still a nice holiday at this time of Year...
