9th August 2020 - Tresco and St Mary's

We spent the day on Tresco, upon arrival we walked to the castle at the Northern end of the island. In the channel between Tresco and Bryher was three Black Swans and three Oystercatchers. On Castle Down there was lots of Stonechats and Linnets. We walked down towards New Grimsby and the Great Pool where we found three Redshank, a Little Egret, three Grey Heron, a Mute Swan, four Greenshank and a Whitethroat. 

The Abbey Pool held 12 Grey Herons and another Greenshank. We then headed into Tresco Abbey Gardens where we found four Red Squirrels and five Golden Pheasants. On our walk back to the boat departing from Carn Near a juvenile Mediterranean Gull was near the quay. 

Later that evening on St Mary's, a Swift flew over Porth Mellon.
