My annual trip to the Isles of Scilly was once again a great week with Paul, Brad, Adam & Heather. I walked over 150K steps over the week visting all the islands.

It's always great to see the annual return birders from all over UK, including Dr C & Dave Hill from Redditch. We shared a few pints on the one evening when testing our poor knowledge in the pub quiz.

The Red-footed Booby was the star of week but as always there was a strong undercard featuring a Shearwater feeding frenzy, 2 Little Bunting, 2 Wryneck, Spoonbill, 3 Firecrest, Red-throated Pipit, Cattle Egret, Golden Pheasant, Red Squirels, Pied and Spotted Flycatcher, Golden Plover, 20 Black Redstart, Common Redstart, 2 Ring Ouzel, Glossy Ibis & a host of passage waders.
