Isles of Scilly - Day Two

A Tawny Pipit had been present on Bryher for at least a week so the first full day on the Isles started with a boat trip across to see this little beaut.

And what charisma, darting around the tops in very Wheatear-like fashion, running circuits around the few that were privileged to see it.

A flava Yellow Wagtail paused briefly in a horse field during a walk round the island.

Back on St Mary's and a lovely walk back to hold haunts, tea and cake at the Old Town cafe, then onto the cemetery where a Yellow-browed Warbler was seen almost immediately.

The walk round Penninis was spectacular where a pod of Porpoise lazily drifted past off the point.

This juvenile Merlin was a surprise late in the day seen perched up on her headland overlooking Porthcressa having recently devoured a local House Sparrow. It looked rather bedraggled but was later seen flying well across the coastline.
