We completed a circuit of the island today. We enjoyed a tranquil lunch at Watermill Cove in the company of a juvenile
SPOTTED SANDPIPER. It was seen off briefly by our first
Kingfisher of the trip but soon returned for other birders to enjoy. After carefully comparing images, it seems likely to be a different bird to the St.Agnes individual. Other highlights today included a
Black Redstart, two
Merlins, three
Common Scoters, 75
Sanderlings, a
Greenshank, a couple of
Bramblings, five
Siskins, two
Wheatears, a
Firecrest, three
Skylarks, a
Swallow, two
Sparrowhawks, two
Water Rails and nine
Kittiwakes.
