Thanks to dry weather, a lovely hotel serving excellent meals, a really nice group and some impressive sightings, we had a very enjoyable and fruitful trip in The Isles of Scilly where we saw 96 different birds including stars like Black-necked Grebe, Spoonbill, Great Shearwater, Purple Sandpiper, Stone Curlew, Wryneck, Hoopoe, Black Redstart, Common Rosefinch, Lapland and Little Buntings, and amazing views of Jack Snipe, plus vagrant Spotted Sandpiper, Buff-bellied Pipit and Mourning Dove (first record for England!) from North America. Don't miss the boat next October!
