Even more Scilly

 The early of the 15th was spent on the Garrison where I quickly had 3 Yellow-browed Warbler on Lower Broome and a Ring Ouzel above the Steval.

From there it was over to St Agnes where the Buff-bellied Pipit had relocated. Once the crowds had departed the pipit gave point-blank views.

Back on St Mary's the Red-backed Shrike gave closer views behind the Longstone cafe and a ring-tail Hen Harrier did the rounds of the island.

A naughty twitch to Lower Moor added Mandarin to my Scilly list.


The 16th was a quiet day but did give an Olive-backed Pipit.

The 17th gave a roosting Short-eared Owl at Harry's Walls and poor views of a Scilly tick White-fronted Goose.

The 18th was my last full day on Scilly and was spent on St Agnes where a Siberian Stonechat was on Gugh and the Buff-bellied Pipit continued to show at Horse Point.
