 | | Merlin, Ring Ouzel, Firecrest, Yellow-browed Warbler and Jack Snipe showed well both weeks whilst highlights of the second week were Richard's Pipit, Red-breasted Flycatcher, Rose-coloured Starling, a different Barred Warbler, the long-staying Ring-necked Duck and a hat-trick of buntings: Lapland, Ortolan and Snow. |
 | | Part of the enjoyment of Scilly is that difficult species on the mainland often show incredibly well here (see the Jack Snipe and Eurasian Siskin photographs). |
 | | There were the usual scares with possible Great Snipe, Pechora Pipit, Northern Waterthrush and Dusky Thrush, and the evenings in the Scillonian Club were very enjoyable with various tables, the log and several slide shows. |
