SCILLY PICS

ALL THE PHOTOGRAPHS BELOW WERE TAKEN ON SCILLY BY MY GOOD MATE MICKY HEMINGWAY - CHEERS BUD!

A brill week or so on Scilly with friends and some good birding although migrant/scarce numbers seemed lower than whats normal although i have not holidayed on the islands for a fair few years so maybe things have changed ???

Baby Pink Stink



Blackpoll Warbler - a bright one !



Just love this pic!!



Fairly tame AGP



Only included this coz I found it with Mick!

Ringer


Add to the above Solitary Sand, Booted Warbler, OBP, the 'Humes' calling warbler, (interesting but I remain unsure about the safety of this I.D.),Richards Pipit and the usual scarce stuff and its a pretty impressive list! Felt crap on several days but thats Scilly - you just never know! Only managed to find the R B Fly myself and lost a grey/green Phylosc so i shall have to try harder/smarter next year!!
