Scilly Day 1

The Scillonian sailed at 09:45 on a mercifully calm sea. Interesting sea birds were in short supply but several Shearwater were seen some of which may have been Balearic. Cetaceans were represented by both Harbour Porpoise & Common Dolphins.

Peninnis Head Lighthouse - greets you on arrival

After dropping off the bags it was up to Newford Duck Pond for an elusive Arctic Warbler. I saw it fairly well but photographing it was a slightly different matter:

Spot the bird

A Jack Snipe into the sun in the late afternoon was a year tick. A couple of Cornish Ratlers in the Bishop & Wolf and it was off to bed for an early night.
