Scillies Part II - a sight for Sora eyes!

The delayed start on the Scillies didn't bode well, but I saw some decent birds despite the curtailed visit. About 10 Grey Phalaropes off the boat on the way over was nice, whilst the islands themselves coughed up a few good birds as well as a mega (but sadly one I had seen before). 'Best of the rest' included Serin (only seen a couple of times before in the UK and my only photos of this species), Wryneck (frustratingly brief views), Yellow-browed Warbler (eventually), Firecrest (brief views), and a very smart adult male Black Redstart. The highlight of the trip was eventually, at the 11th hour, connecting with the juvenile Sora, that I saw with just an hour to spare before having to board the boat home.
