After a month of research in #Porcupinebank on board #VizcondedeEza in the wild waters west of #Ireland, we're finally at home! The most amazing #seabird sighting was a South Polar skua! @rspb.bsky.social @irishbirds.bsky.social @ieo-cadiz.bsky.social Ireland waters are always a box of surprises!

A little round up of my 2024 Isle of Scilly 2024 Autumn. A great 3 weeks, great company and great birds. Considered a 'quiet' autumn but would take me a lifetime to see these on my native #Wirral #ukbirding. ❤️Scilly 🏝️
