Scilly - 11.10.23

A fairly quiet day was interspersed with the odd good bird. The Great White Egret flew over me at Porth Hellick Pool, 2 Black Redstart were still at Pelistry and a year tick Pink-footed Goose was in a random field near Normandy.

Tolls island held 3 Whimbrel and the summer plumaged Red-throated Diver was still off of Watermill Cove with a fly over Peregrine. The only Yellow-browed Warbler of the week was heard at Higher Moors and a Ruff at Porthloo was another year tick. Another Black Redstart was on Porth Mellon beach and when walking to dinner a couple of Golden Plover were heard calling from the darkness. At the log Ralph Parkes brought along a whopping Convulvulous Hawkmoth for people to see.
