Hello
My apologies for the lack of posts recently.
Eleanor and I are now on the Scillies after travelling down on Saturday and sailing over on the Scillonian III. Common Dolphins and a Basking Shark were the highlights, the birds were quiet with three Mediterranean Gulls, a Balearic Shearwater and common sea-birds about the best.
Four days of warm sunshine has been most impressive and the birds have included a Red-eyed Vireo, Richard's Pipit, Red-breasted Flycatcher, Lapland Bunting, Ortolan Bunting, Firecrests (three caught and ringed), and Yellow-browed Warblers and the usual supporting cast of common migrants.
Eleanor found a first for the islands - a Swallowtail butterfly!
Regards
Neil M
