I had yet to do Peninnis and so this seemed to be the best plan to start the day. At the headland, 2 Snow Buntings unusually were very flighty and did not allow any sort of approach for a photograph. So I'm going to have to show last year's instead:

The light today was vastly improved on the previous days and it allowed me to take this shot of a Northern Wheatear close to the airport:

Not so obliging was the Short Toed Lark that was also on the airfield :

A Red Throated Pipit had been pinned down on the golf course and this was my next stop. Again, the views were rather distant but it was heard to call several times to confirm its presence:
I wandered on past the Duck Pond failing to see the Yellow Browed again. By this time it was a glorious day and perfect for a visit to Watermill, which the think is one of the most beautiful spots on St Mary's for some photographs:

By the time I got to the top of Holy Vale, the light was not as good but a selection of plantlife common on Scilly was another try out for the new D90:
