Woodchat Shrike
I was up on the Garrison wondering where to go when news reached me of a Woodchat Shrike at the south end of Bryher. I had a cheeky scope over and could see the finder watching it but I couldn’t quite pick it out so I’d have to head over for a better look!
I seem to get lost every time I go to Bryher and today was no different but eventually I arrived at the south end of Samson Hill and after a few minutes another birder picked it out. For the next 20 minutes we watched it flit between the Gorse bushes and even above the beach.
Puckies Carn was somewhere I’d never heard of but I found it on the map and headed that way. After a minute or so the female Pied Flycatcher popped into view before flitting over the brow of the hill.
After some lunch news of a Grasshopper Warbler that’d been found by Scilly legend Will Wagstaff near Great Porth had me briskly walking there but for the 4th time this week I missed it.
Great Northern Diver
By now it was time to head to the quay and as I was waiting for the boat to arrive I spotted 7 Whimbrel flying over the Tresco channel towards Bryher.
