Isles of Scilly 15/8/11

The last day on Scilly, but still managed to see a flyover BEE-EATER, a pod of 200+ Common Dolphin and a Green Sandpiper over the Garrison.

The undoubted highlights from the trip were Wilson's Stom-Petrel and Great Shearwater flying a few feet from the boat, Sabine's Gull, Bee-eater and a Minke Whale. On the return Scillonian and large group of us saw at a a distance on a couple of occasions a huge black dorsal fin which in my and other's opinions could only have been a Killer Whale!!!!
