Plain & simple filthy twitching yes, but 3 hours spent this afternoon on St Agnes Scillies was definitely worth it #islesofscilly #stagnes

Amazing start to August for me with a productive 1.5 hour visit to Beer Head this morning. A proper autumn flurry with singles of Pied and Spotted Fly, Lesser and Common Whitethroat, Wheatear and Sedge Warbler and 22+ Willow Warblers. Absolutely loved it! #autumn #ukbirding

They are quite a regular visitor to gardens in Underleys in Beer, feeding on dandelion seeds, but I guess that’s more expected as on the edge of Countryside
