Scilly - 12.10.23

 Today I paid only my 2nd ever visit to St.Martin’s hoping to see both Rustic Bunting and Arctic Warbler. My first and only visit had been back in 2002 when I managed to tick Citrine Wagtail from the boat as it fed on Higher Town beach! A couple of hours staring into a field at Perpitch saw everyone fail to see the Bunting despite it being their first thing. As I walked past the warbler twitch it hadn’t been seen for a couple of hours so I decided to get the first boat back to St.Mary’s which of course meant the warbler was seen soon after! A quiet day.
