Captured this fly-by from a second-winter Mediterranean Gull on Bryher, Isles of Scilly. Maybe not as pure white-winged as an adult but still a very smart plumage #UKBirding #IoSBirding #IslesofScillyBirding

Whilst so intently looking for doves on St Agnes, Isles of Scilly, last week we enjoyed superb views of this European Turtle Dove @sophieshrike.bsky.social #IoSBirding #IslesofScillyBirding #UKBirding

A slightly better shot of the Mourning Dove yesterday on St Agnes. Thanks to the landowner and birders for allowing and arranging access. This was not only a first for the Scillies but also a first for England! #UKBirding #RareBirdsUK #IoSBirding #IslesofScillyBirding

American Mourning Dove finally in the bag!!! 3 days of searching put to rest. Tiny little thing. #UKBirding #RareBirdsUK #IoSBirding #IslesofScillyBirding @sophieshrike.bsky.social

Another no-show from the American Mourning Dove on St Agnes so we paid homage to the long-staying Spotted Sandpiper before leaving #RareBirdsUK #UKBirding #IoSBirding #IslesofScillyBirding @sophieshrike.bsky.social

No sign of the American Mourning Dove yesterday on St Agnes so we'll try again today. A Hoopoe was nice compensation though! @sophieshrike.bsky.social #IoSBirding #IslesofScillyBirding #UKBirding #RareBirdsUK
