As the weather was dry I sat outside for the boat trip back to Penzance. 60+ Manx Shearwater, 4 Fulmar and a year tick Great Skua were the bird highlights however non bird sightings were the blow of a whale to the NE of the islands which was most likely a Humpback and brief views of a Bluefin Tuna 30 minutes out from Penzance.
Once I’d picked up my luggage and got back to my car which thankfully hadn’t been towed/vandalised as I’d parked it on a side road saving myself about £80 from not parking in the main car park I headed straight to a Marazion Marsh RSPB where a 5 minute wait finally delivered the main target with just my 3rd ever Savi’s Warbler reeling from the reeds.
The journey home was thankfully uneventful at I climbed into bed just after 11pm.
Just 5 1/2 months until I’m back on Scilly.
