Isles of Scilly - 4th October 2021

A pleasant stroll around St. Mary's demonstrated just how quiet things are here at the moment.  A male blackcap in Carreg Dhu gardens produced some excitement which tells its own story.  A whinchat marginally ramped up the quality along the Porth Hellick trail.  

Having succumbed to my limited patience earlier in the day, a return to the vicinity of the airfield resulted in re-locating the female red-backed shrike within vegetation viewed from the 'airport trail'.

A lethargic meander toward the standing stones field resulted in finding a tree pipit within a willow.  Another whinchat was present there but dashed away toward Lower Moors.
