We were booked onto the 09:15 Scillionian III crossing to St Mary's, we used the IOS Travel Park & Ride system which worked well and before we knew it we were off to the Isles of Scilly. Whilst waiting for the boat to depart I noted two Rock Pipits on the quay and a juvenile Shag in Penzance Harbour.
The crossing was a little choppy but provided some excellent birds in the form of a Great Shearwater, a Cory's Shearwater and a Sooty Shearwater. Also noted were three Ringed Plover and two Common Terns whilst cetaceans included six Common Dolphins.
We spent the afternoon on St Mary's just relaxing putting our feet up and settling into our accommodation. Early evening two Swifts flew over Buzza.
