Last day on Scillys

Although our last pelagic was on Sunday the 21st, our last day on the island was Monday. Our boat was scheduled to leave at 16:30, which gave us a reasonable amount of time to explore the island for a last time. We began at the Garrison where we had good views of the Icterine Warbler before the sun came out.

I then spent a large portion of the day scouring the rest of the Garrison especially the Dead Pines, in hope of a scarce phylosc, but unfortunately nothing but Pied Flycatchers were to be seen. Late news of a Wryneck on the other side of the Island sent me to Pungies Lane for a quick dip before picking our luggage up from the B&B and heading homeward bound on the Scillonian. The Scillonian produced a total of 140 Manx Shearwater, 1 Balearic, 1 Cory's, 2 Sooty and 2 European Storm Petrels. In conclusion, a very enjoyable trip, which I'd highly recommend!
