BONELLI'S WARBLER sp on Bryher

BONELLI'S WARBLER sp at Great Popplestone Bay, Bryher Bryan Thomas

  Monday just gone, 27th, Bryan Thomas with his family made a visit to Bryher. With his family in toe, it was kind of hard for him to bird and when he reached the fields at Great Popplestone Bay, he came across what he thought was a Wood Warbler and started taking shots of it. It was only when he decided to have a look at the pics today of the warbler that he identified it as a BONELLI'S WARBLER! In the brief time that he saw it, he didn't hear it call.

   This afternoon from the control tower I had a look for yesterdays Buff-breasted Sandpiper on the airfield and found it feeding near the hangers. Later on when the airport was shut, Robin and I went to have a better look and it had moved by the turning circle where it showed well with 4 Wheatear. 5 more Wheatear and 2 White Wagtail were also at Telegraph

 

2 Pied Flycatcher and this Spotted Flycatcher were on the Garrison. Bob Dawson also had 4 Crossbill
 
Robin found a Richard's Pipit on the heliport, Tresco next to the Abnbey Pool. The pool itself only held 4 Black-tailed Godwit and 3 Dunlin. Yesterday, the first Curlew Sandpiper of the year was at South Beach. A juvenile Long-tailed Skua was off Horse Point, St Agnes.
