14 October 09 Bryher & St Marys

In what was increasingly looking like being a quiet week any new bird was a bonus & 2 Shelduck off Samson fell into that category.

Bryher appeared promising in that there were a fair number of Redwing on the move and several Wheatears and Meadow Pipits flitted around.

2 Sparrowhawks were seen, another great view of a Peregrine was had & then news that the Richard's Pipit had been refound near Hell Bay. It showed well briefly & just as I was setting up the camera it flew uttering a characteristic loud "Shreep" almost Sparrow like call.

4 Spoonbill showed very close on Green Island from the boat & back on Marys a Black Redstart was seen at Porth Thomas & a Peregrine was plucking prey on Taylors Island.
