Wryneck at Last

Last day on Scilly (16 October) was bright and warm with a moderate east/north breeze. Overall it has been a great trip, I have thoroughly enjoyed it, saw some great birds and always felt that there was something to see. What a contrast to 2009 !

However, after going almost continually since 1999 perhaps it is time to try something else in Autumn 2011. Though I have absolutely no doubt I will be back on Scilly in years to come.

The boat was not until 4:30 pm and therefore I had time to finally nail a Wryneck for the trip:
