… a day trip to Scilly got us a few seabirds (Puffin, Sooty Shearwater, a few Grey Phal’s, etc), Issy Shrike that was found when we were a couple of minutes away and Wilson’s Snipe, probably! We didn’t see a Sora (seen ten minutes before we arrived and ten minutes after we left).

A week in Cornwall was slightly hard work. AGP on the Hayle that never settled was the best find though my description may not pass muster with the Cornish rare brigade. Fortunately it was snapped by a good Cornish birder. Baird’s & Buff-breasted Sandpipers were notable on the way down…

Almost didn't trap, but was at the in-laws place in North Somerset and it was their electricity so... 17:9 included my 2nd Cypress Carpet of the year and several Epirrita. Non-moth highlight was a Great Silver Water Beetle. Absolute unit. #TeamMoth
