Pair of Stonechats at Porth Hellick
While waiting for a plane to come in this afternoon, a flock of wagtails landed in the car park area, right in front of me. There were 15 male Pied Wagtail and a superb male White Wagtail! No doubt just arrived today in these cold NEE winds that we have had for a week now. No sooner had I scanned through them, they were up and gone.

In the Star Castle Garden, I lifted up two stones and found single Australian Flatworm under each one, including one of the worms in the process of consuming an Earthworm. This is very worrying and the invasion could seriously damage the ecosystem, if nothing is done about it. It really does make you wonder how many are in the garden?! Remember, the first UK record was here on Scilly in 1980. That would give them 31 years or more to get around!
