We got off the islands on time and started heading for home. A quick scan over the Hayle Estuary produced just 5 Greenshank as any sort of highlight. Once into Bodmin Moor we stopped at DozmaryPool where we quickly spotted the drake Ring-necked Duck in with some Tufted Ducks.
Then once past Stonehenge I took Brendon to see the reintroduction programme Great Bustards on Salisbury Palin. We had nice views of 6 birds which will be accepted as a self sustaining population in the not too distant future.
So I ended on 118 species for the trip 6 of which were Scilly ticks. Nothing exceptionally rare to write home about this time but still as enjoyable.
