A lovely week on Scilly. In between some spectacularly esoteric plants (Suffocated Clover, Beaked Tassel-weed and all 3mm of Ophioglossum lusitanicum anyone?), 8 Pectoral Sandpipers and an exhausted juvenile Blue-winged Teal, superb sea views, singing seals and interesting archaeology, I also found the time to catch up with Northern Waterthrush, Solitary Sandpiper, Baltimore Oriole, Red-eyed Vireo, Woodchat Shrike and Bee-eater. Not bad for a gentle week! Although those pesky Buff-breasted Sandpipers still managed to hide from me...
