Thank you again for the quick turnaround and invaluable service Martin Collinson #BLM 🙏🙌
Hopefully there’ll be some more exciting 💩 on the horizon 😄🤞
Dragged DNA sequence kicking and screaming from poop of the putative Mediterranean Flycatcher from Scilly, 16/17 April and sadly it turned out to be boring old Spotted Fly. RareBirdAlertUK BirdGuides __BBRC Scott Reid
An exceptional few days for raptors continued y’day as a BLACK KITE arrived on St. Mary’s. The Montagu’s harrier toured again, & the adult purple heron clung on to life, just. Golden orioles, woodchats, & Richard’s pipit remain, & a stone curlew was new on St. Agnes #ScillyBirds
The settled weekend weather gave way to a big westerly front today, and the ocean provided! A group rummaging session yielded five Columbus crabs and six(!) Fiona pinnata - only the second recorded occurrence of this rare pelagic nudibranch on Scilly! #oceandrifters
Exceptional arrival across Scilly over the last 24 hours - pallid swift, night herons, purple herons, R-r swallow, woodchat shrike, hen harrier, R-n duck & 7+ golden orioles!! As always, I couldn’t see it all, but after seeing this scene below, little else mattered! #ScillyBirds
Fabulous Uko Gorter poster of all 24 of the deep-diving, breath holding #beakedwhales & so nice to see the newest, Sato's beaked whale top of the chart next to our fave Baird's beaked whale! Free download bit.ly/3uDckyz Defenders of Wildlife Marine Mammalogy Whale and Dolphin Conservation (WDC)…
Orkney from Scilly Rockpool Safaris is doing it again - he's running for our ocean!
Orkney (8) has previously raised thousands for Marine Conservation Society & other charities. He told us all about his rockpooling here- tinyurl.com/42h38t3k
