Isles of Scilly 2015

13/8/2015

​These photos were all taken in the Isles of Scilly, an archipelago off the southernmost tip of England, from 13th August to 30th August. The range of species found on just two islands (Tresco and Bryher, and the channel between) is huge, especially seeing as neither one of the islands extends much over two miles long. In this portfolio, I have posted photos of fifteen different bird and insect species. It is an amazing place to visit during the summer and you are guaranteed to see a real mix of different species on as little as a ten minute stroll down the beach. My particular favourite thing to do is visit Stinking Porth on Bryher, where in the evening at low tide the Sanderlings come out to make the most of the moist sand. They scuttle across the beach like little clockwork toys, jabbing at the sand multiple times per second, scooping up the invertebrates that live just a few centimetres under the ground. As a photographer, all you must do is lie down and be prepared to wait for a little while, and so long as you do not disturb them, they will get closer and closer to you as they sweep across the beach.
