Episode 92 - a birding trip on the Isles of Scilly

We've enjoyed a five day trip with David Rosair of Island Ventures visiting every island except St. Mary's which is the largest of the five islands making up the Scillies. We've seen some rare birds as well as the usual, but we love all birds and the surroundings so it has been a special treat. Thanks for watching and sharing my holiday moments.

Hi Pene. Thank-you for sharing your amazing trip. All the nature and birdlife have been lovely. You deserve a great holiday after a tough year. The weather here has been changeable. The trees in the woods at the back of our house are falling steadily into the garden. Some beautiful colours and lots of yarn inspiration. Take care. Xx

Thank you for watching Angela, hope you're having the rest you wanted to. How wonderful taking inspiration from nature for your wool. xx

I’m very much enjoying sharing glimpses of your lovely holiday - thank you, Pene! I spotted a similar caterpillar in Scotland - I am now wondering if it matches yours (he will appear in my podcast on Monday, the second part of our recent Scottish trip) xx

[@penelopeschinwag]

Hi Helen, David identified it for me. Looking at the moth, well, most unusual. Looking forward to second part of Scotland. I'll be home then!

Lovely video. Such a nice video to watch and the music is so lovely too.

[@penelopeschinwag]

Thanks Helen.

Thanks so much for including us in your travels. Michigan had a record breaking string of warm October days, but back to normal today. Rainy all day so good timing to find your videos.

[@penelopeschinwag]

Lovely October days - you can't beat them. xx

[@debbiestuckey6599]

I really enjoy your filming and pictures and how you put it all together with music! I wonder if it is upsetting to the birds when they're blown off coarse?

[@penelopeschinwag]

Mmh, I wonder? I will ask David when I see him again.

[@ic7505]

Beautiful! Not only do you take great videos and stills but you have a great eye for capturing scenes, like peeking thru the gate to the ocean beyond. I’m glad you are enjoying your holiday, I’m certainly enjoying your vlogs 🤗

[@penelopeschinwag]

Thanks so much. xx

Bird migration is amazing when you think of it. I wonder if the sandpiper will find his way back to where he blew in from. Looks like you were having a great holiday. See you later.

[@penelopeschinwag]

Makes you think doesn't it. He seemed very relaxed but it's not where he should be!

[@sandrachilds7229]

Thank you, Penne.

[@penelopeschinwag]

You're very welcome

I stayed at Hell Bay Hotel in June. Thanks so much, this helps to re-live it!

[@penelopeschinwag]

How lovely it helped recall your stay. We really enjoyed ourselves and of course are planning a trip next year! Thanks for joining me.

Thank you Penelope for sharing your lovely holiday with us. The scenery and birds are just so lovely to see. We are in spring here in Australia and although we had promise of summer with a couple of weeks of 20 degrees or more we are now thrown back into winter with cold, wet days. Oh well it is only spring. Enjoy the rest of your holiday and look foward to hearing from you when you reach home. xx

[@penelopeschinwag]

Thanks Jacqueline, let's hope your weather improves, plenty of time for it but spring is so gorgeous you don't want to miss a day.

[@lindashields5939]

What an amazing video! As someone who used to walk and hike loads, but now needs to use a walker I absolutely appreciate that you take me along to places I’ll not be able t o go myself any more. Thank you. I am so grateful to you. Salam wa sa’aadah
