Another Corvo Season full of ticks!!


The perfect bird - Blue-winged Warbler - stayed! Joined by a Tennessee, which also stayed!
Sea-watching was magnificent - thousands of Great Shears. Also saw Grants Petrel and Fea's Petrel.
Twitched Flores twice to see Common Nighthawk and White-tailed Tropicbird - OMG what a bird!
Oh, and on the way back to Corvo we heard there was a Purple Martin on the island..... sixth tick in as many days.


Other photographic opportunities were few but pleased with this White-rumped....
