Shortly after arriving on Bryher we were spending time in the close company of the extremely confiding
TAWNY PIPIT behind Popplestone Bay as it busied itself just a few feet away. Scouring the island for migrants we came up with three
Spotted Flycatchers, and singles of
Whinchat,
Reed Bunting and
Skylark, but little else. A
Whimbrel, two
Greenshanks and two
Water Rails were logged. From the boat we counted eight
Grey Herons between Bryher and Samson.

The little birding we did on St. Mary's featured a juvenile
Bar-tailed Godwit on Porthcressa beach and a
Sandwich Tern.
