Report from a bird free correspondent...

Well, what can I say...The Scilly Isles are truly wonderous...in my humble opinion. They could however have done with a few more birds in the 4 days that we spent there....but birds don't appear to order...they just rock up when and where they want! That's not to say that that there we no birds of esteemed note.....Booted Warbler, Icterine Warbler, RB Shrike, Wryneck, Spotted Crake, Spotted Redshank and Rose Coloured Starling...all of which made an appearance....but sadly not within a bus or boat ride of us! 

So we ventured back to the mainland on the Scillionian...I still really don't think I have sea legs! Overnight in Penzance...found a wonderful B&B at Trereife Park....just like Jane Austin...could imagine a nice Mr Darcy....anyway...

Today we went on the hunt for Chough....no chuffing luck there either!...did get a consultation Raven...though we get those at home....Oh yes new bird for the year is a Cory's Shearwater from Porthgwarra...

We watched the sun go down over the Longships Lighthouse at Landsend.....dinner, glass of wine with the moose...what more could I ask for....perhaps Fea's Petrel tomorrow off Porthgwarra! Ha !!!
