Another day on the Isles of Scilly

I brought a moth trap to Scilly this time – it hasn’t been a major success but it has attracted a few moths.

This is a feathered ranunculus sub species scillonea which is only found on Scilly – it feeds on thrift and sea plantain.

We went over to St Martins for the day and saw and olive backed pipit, an Ortolan bunting and 5 golden plovers

Back on St Mary’s the green heron was back on his rock

 

And a Mediterranean gull was briefly in the same bay

Finally we went to to the Bird Log and someone had brought in a dead little bunting which flown into the window of their house!
