Up early and onto Porthcressa on a fine clear morning. Invigorating...
I made my way towards Little Porth (previous successes include Surf Scoter, Red-throated Pipit, Rose-coloured Starling and Nightingale) and on arrival a pair of Stonechats were waiting for me...
4 Redwings over were new for the Trip as was the sinister presence of a Peregrine gliding across the Bay from the Garrison towards Peninnis. I met Louise with the Cart and after grabbing a couple of take-away Latte's we headed to Porthloo to enjoy them in the sunshine...

| Taxi! |
We tried Borough Farm...
...and Maypole...
...without seeing anything of note. A message then informed me that the Scilly MEGA namely Bullfinch had be seen again at Shooters Pool. I decided to give it an hour before Lunch. On arrival I nooticed Simon at the far end of the screen. I joined him for the duration of my visit but the Bird didn't show. Good company though!
After Lunch at Longstones we dropped into Carrag Dhu again to try for Firecrest. Needle and Haystack spring to mind...but you gotta try...right? Our friend appeared as soon as we sat on our bench...

| A fine specimen |
After some 30 minutes as I was looking into the tree above the Bird Bath...
...there it was on a bare branch briefly...a fine male!!! I deserved it lol! Definitely "Bird of the Day". The rain set in around 3.30 so we returned the Cart and headed "home".
A couple of "good blows" coming through tomorrow...
...and Friday
Stay tuned...
