The Isles of Scilly

Hello

Just back from four weeks on the wonderful Isles of Scilly! We enjoyed a mixture of weather and although it is already recognised as being a quiet year in many respects there was still plenty to look at! As well as general birding, Eleanor was running around the island coastal paths most days with her collies, I did a little ringing and conducted a Naturetrek tour and managed to complete a couple of pelagic trips too. And of course these islands are fabulous walking terrain with every island subtly different to each other and yes I took plenty of photos.

Anyway a few images from the islands, no doubt there will be more over the next few days...

Regards
