Scillies 2023 - Day 5

A lot of walking for little reward today, but it was generally quiet across the islands but with a few bits and pieces knocking around. En route to the Standing Stones field, I found a lesser whitethroat within the willows at the end of Trench Lane. Two jack snipe were still present from the ISBG hide with one showing ridiculously well in front of the hide.

Walking back toward the airport, a juvenile black redstart was present outside of the terminal. It was generally very quiet as I headed down the Tremelethen trail toward Porth Hellick. Heading up Carn Friars, I made for Normandy where a yellow wagtail flew over and the pink-footed goose was feeding within one of the set-aside fields. Surprisingly though was a turtle dove that flew in, paused for a couple of minutes before heading swiftly off.

The pink-foot was seen again at Porth Hellick with two northern wheatear near Giant's Castle.
