Swainson’s Thrush

Twitched the Swainson’s Thrush on Skokholm Island, along with twelve others. Rough wet journey over and took us the best part of an hour to get the boat in. Indeed, it looked like we wouldn’t be able to make land at one point and we might have to be content with watching the Puffins and Seals…

 

 

 

Raining on the island but the Thrush was showing…

And then the sun came out…

…and I took a few photos of Herring Gulls and Oystercatchers and the likes…

 

Back on the mainland I walked to the top of the cliff and Martin’s Haven where there were a couple of Chough and a wonderful view of Skomer Island in the sun…
