Porthgwarra

Day One of what will now be an annual trip to the Scillies.  The anticipation comfortably weighted within me as we headed down to Cornwall for a night on the mainland before an early flight across to the Isles.

Porthgwarra looked naturally picturesque in the calm conditions but bird interest was pretty sparse here with a few seabirds that included a small flock of five Sooty Shearwater past heading west with small groups of Manx Shearwater en route to wintering out in the expanse of the oceans.  Incredible creatures.

Goldcrest were conspicious by there continuous 'seeping' by nothing of real note could be uncovered apart from a single Willow Warbler.
