Isles of Scilly - Day Three

The weather turned.  It started wet and very windy that delayed the start of the day.  By late morning there were glimpses of blue sky, and false hopes that the storm was about to clear.  I set off with these vain hopes.

Three Sandwich Tern and a 1st year Mediterranean Gull were sat out on the rocks off Porthcressa. 

The showers began to pulse through after the brief hiatus but a lot of ground was covered.

On The Garrison, a Spotted Flycatcher was present actively feeding within the pines.  A lone Whinchat was also present here.  

Walking through Lower Moors, a lone Greenshank, a couple of Water Rail, Grey Wagtail, and four House Martin were all on offer.

The showers were heavy but there were enough dry spells to keep powering on but there were slim pickings on offer.  A real soaking wrapped up proceedings with the hope for better over the following days.
