Scillies - Day Five

Image
Back to St. Agnes because you just can't get enough of this island, and it also has a knack of drawing in rare American vagrants.  But not today. A juvenile Northern Wheatear was present on the south of the island. There were small groups of Siskin on the island. There was at least one Little Bunting - this one was near the Cricket pitch and allowed close views. This juvenile Black Redstart was typically active on rocks at Periglis Beach. A Yellow-browed Warbler was seen outside of the old bird observatory.

Scillies - Day Two

We headed over to St. Agnes today.  It was beautiful, with clear skies and warm sun.  This is my favourite island and the location of the excitement of the 'yank' fall.  Sadly I missed it all.  Timing is everything, but walking round the island is such a joy. There was some interest at least with a nice tidy Yellow-browed Warbler that perched up on a tree briefly in front of the post-office before dashing off again on its' circuit.
