Expedition to Juan Fernandez

Hadoram Shirihai (the Tubenoses Project) has given us the exclusive opportunity to publish his report (full of awesome photos and new information) of his recent 'mass-chuming' at-sea expedition to Juan Fernandez Islands in search of petrels. This includes an intriguing record of what appears to be unknown dark form (i.e. a dark-morph, or a dark-type/taxon - subject to a future research!) related to White-bellied Storm-petrel. Here is a taster of what is to come:

Iberian Chiffchaff, Lower Moors, 24-26 April 2013

A singing first-summer male Iberian Chiffchaff Phylloscopus ibericus was found by Ashley Fisher at Lower Moors early on the 24th April. It constitutes only the second record for Scilly.
 

Greenland White-fronted Goose...

Having been largely silent since their arrival in October 2012, the 6 birds at Porth Hellick Pool are starting to get more vocal.
