Isles of Scilly - May 2009
The following images are a snap shot of the excellent birding trip I undertook to the magical islands in the second week of May with the wife. Here I landed a lifer, Little Bittern, which had some how managed to elude me over the years until now. I also added a couple of birds to my Scillies list and a couple to my finders list whilst also enjoying excellent views of many of the birds. A very enjoyable tip.
Golden Pheasant, male, Abbey Lane, Tresco
He may not be countable but he was splendid
