Friday 27th September

A juvenile Arctic Tern, a Great Northern Diver and two Mediterranean Gull were offshore with eight Chiffchaff and four Blackcap around the Entrance Bushes. 

With no news on the Long-billed Dowitcher there are no plans for access this weekend.

Other Wildlife: Toothed Fireweed Senecio minimus was discovered by the Boathouse, a new plant for the Recording Area and Devon. A native of western Australia and New Zealand, it is well established on the Isles of Scilly but with only five other UK records.

The recent rain has brought out a range of fungi, with Blackening Waxcap in Greenland Lake and Velvet Shank and Tawny Grisette in the Entrance Bushes.
