ALL DAY ON BRYHER WITH VISITS TO GREAT POOL - POPPLESTONES - HELL BAY - SHIPMAN POINT AND LARGE AREAS ON SHIPMAN DOWN
WEATHER: A lovely start, clear sky lighter winds - cloudy later with some showers. Top temp 14C
It's pretty dire on the islands at the moment and especially dire on Bryher!! Very few migrant species are present and it is hard word just finding common migrants. We opted for Bryher becuase some of the group had never visited the island and there was hope that something would be discovered there.
From breakfast we walked down through the alloments on Peninnis and then across to Porthcressa, we saw very little and the bay held the usual gulls and a few wader species, no terns were present. Our 10:15 boat left on time and soon we were scrambling up the quay onto Bryher.
