Old Town, St Mary's - Red-eyed Vireo once more!

It would have been rude not to check out the fields adjacent tot he churchyard in Old Town and yes, the Red-eyed Vireo was still there!

Harder work today but worthwhile to catch these moments on the same branch...

Steadily becoming my favourite bird at the moment!

Old Town, St Mary's - Red-eyed Vireo!!

The Blue-winged Teal was the highlight of the day so far but that was about to be eclipsed by news of a rather showy Red-eyed Vireo over by Old Town church. It was getting late in the day and was a bit of a yomp but there was a throng of bins, scopes and cameras pointing up into the elms on arrival...

This would normally be your typical view? But things were about to get a whole lot better!

On the same level rather than being high up in the canopy and emerging into clear view...

Just needing the right turn of the head?

Yes...

Either of these will do nicely!!

The bar has duly been raised for Red-eyed Vireo, such a showy little stunner...

Scilly Day 11 - Red-eyed Vireo!!

A second Red-eyed Vireo for the trip!! And just in the nick of time after yomping from Peninnis to Carreg Dhu gardens where it favoured the large Sycamore in the heart of the garden. And this one got it's picture taken :-)

Briefly caught feeding......

Then perched up, complete with beady red eye!

It sat for 30 secs or so on this branch.....

Not doing a lot but I didn't complain :-)

It didn't stay for long and there was no further sign after 4.15 :-(
