Scilly day 9 - Yellow-browed warbler to start

There's no shortage of Yellow-browed Warblers at present and the day kicked off with one as I walked into Higher Moors......




Another YBW which refused to move for at least 2 seconds!!!




Gone but with Firecrest calling outside the hide at the pool, a rather tatty Goldcrest was looking for attention?





And eventually,the master of skulk / camouflage, this Firecrest was as one with the leaves....



Ooops, in full view??!


A spotted Crake vigil then ensued - it ended up Crakeless!
