Scillies

So looking forward to our tour to the Scilly Isles this year. Here’s a photo of a Black and White Warbler taken in Canada last month. This is a bird that’s a good bet to turn up in the enchanted Isles this season.

Flying Humbug

Just over a month ago we were clicking our heals in Montreal, Quebec.

Walking beneath the dark canopy of the trees in Mount Royal Park we could hear birds moving above in a loose flock. As we looked up we watched a large group of warblers pass by. Among them was a flying humbug; a Black and White Warbler. I have seen these pied jewels previously several on this side of the Atlantic. I wonder if I will get the chance to see another this week on The Isles of Scilly.
