A Rock Pipit at Penzance Quay was the first notable wildlife sighting of the day. The trip to St Mary's on the Scillonian III produced some good records including hundreds of Manx Shearwaters, tens of Guillemots and Razorbills, and the odd Gannet, Shag and Kittiwake. Best however were at least five Bottle-nosed Dolphins surfing and breaching just fifteen minutes into the trip. St Mary's was notable for its wild flowers including Hottentot Fig, Orange Birds-foot and a Gladiolus species (possibly Eastern: Gladiolus communis L.). Mammals on the island (or in the sea) consisted of Brown Rat and Grey Seal. Finally a Song Thrush was singing from a chimney in Hugh Town, in the way a Blackbird would. I don't think I have ever seen a Song Thrush sing from such an exposed perch or from a man-made structure.
