The ex-Bar-tailed Godwit!
On arriving at Porthloo I was told if I'm looking for the Bar-tailed Godwit its down there. There on the beach was the barwit, dead, killed 15 minutes earlier by the very same Peregrine! It would've been my 199th species on Scilly.
As the other 2 were on a pelagic I did my annual wander around the top half of the island. I didn't see much as usual with 7 Canada Geese on Samson, 3 1st Winter Mediterranean Gulls in The Roads, a summer plumaged Great Northern Diver off of Innisidgen and a Yellow-browed Warbler at Newford Duckpond.
