12 October 09 St Marys

The islands were still very quiet and the organised flush of a Little Bunting at Telegraph was a complete non event. Took to photographing the Scillonian coming in between Inisidgen & Tresco:

5 Redwings over Newford confirmed that migration was still in progress but birding was still a bit of a slog. A Water Rail showed at the duck pond, a single House Martin with a party of Swallows over Maypole & a Firecrest in Holy Vale were 'highlights' mid afternoon.

Porthellick Pool held 9 Whooper Swan:

A Wryneck was seen well on the Giant's Castle and at least 1 Whinchat was close to the airfield. A Spot Fly was in a pitisporran above Porth Minnick.
