Scillies - Day Fourteen

The weather was still lively on the final full day.  Watching the storms pass by the Isles always provides a sense of vulnerability of how exposed the archipelago is to the weather systems that power along the south-west corridor.

Highlights of the day featured a Common Redstart along the Penninis Trail still present from the day before.  The long-staying Red-backed Shrike was also in the same area, flying from the trail and later viewable from the coastal path near the Old Town.

Two Yellow-browed Warbler were noted, one in the dump clump where the Red-breasted Flycatcher was giving typically fleeting views with the other by the Cricket pitch.

A Chiffchaff at the dump clump, two Kestrel, and 56 Herring Gull on Porthcressa were other noteworthy sightings.
