LC went up in a tern blizzard when a warden entered the colony as we watched from a boat but despite shouted directions I just couldn’t pick her up. Following yr I stripped off & waded a deep channel to Scolt Hd Is for a view 😆

Still need 2 of those! Missed the ‘cracker by a day… had been there 3 wks! Got the Flam Desert next day though.

That’s a real shot from the archives. Amazing the improvement in photography since the 80’s… nowadays you can tell AI to turn the bird’s head! 😆

Excuse the red colour warping in the pic, can’t seem to edit it after posting. Looked OK on my laptop!

Ah yes, think I was away for that one. Back in the day they were annual at Marazion Marsh & often gettable by birders visiting for the regular August Scillonian pelagic (pre Scilly Pelagics)

Funny looking songbird
