Belmont is an excellent B and B. It is superb value and the breakfasts are great. It is located near to Penninis and lower moors as well as being fairly near town (10 minute walk). Here is the link http://www.the-belmont.co.uk/page3.html

The partner of Alan Hannington, Secretary of the Isles of Scilly Bird Group runs the Lyonnesse Guest House. This Guest House is very popular with Birders in October. Check it out here:http://www.simplyscilly.co.uk/site/s...t-house-p40193

As a Least Sandpiper has now turned up along with a further 5 additional Scillies ticks there for me, I usually only manage one or two at best a year, I am scampering off down there earlier than planned and will be there from Friday for just over 2 weeks.
This year so far the islands have pretty much been the place to be despite several very good birds turning up elsewhere around the country. In the past 3-4 weeks there has been: Northern Waterthrush, Black-and-white Warbler, Baltimore Oriole, 1+ Red-eyed Vireo, 1+ Solitary Sandpiper (assuming the bird y'day and today is not the bird from over a week ago), Lesser Yellowlegs, Baird's Sandpiper, Least Sandpiper, loads of Buff-breasted Sandpipers, American Golden Plover, a possible Wilson's Snipe, Spotted Sandpiper, 1+ Pallid Harriers, Blue-winged Teal, Black Kite, multiple Woodchat Shrikes, 2+ Aquatic Warblerm Subalpine Warbler, Honey Buzzard plus some excellent pelagic seabirding the list goes on...really looking forward to the next couple of weeks birding and a continued plethora of rare's turning up with some of the current crop lingering on. Bring it on.. See you all there |

Its looking good. Only thing I'm not looking forward to is the long drive down over night tomorrow! Hope the Waterthrush hangs on AND shows well, everyone new on on Saturday will be trying for it I'm sure.
