Another regularly-occuring but scarce migrant on the Isles of Scilly is Greater Short-toed Lark. The taxonomy of both this species and Lesser Short-toed Lark (which was recently split into four species) is quite complex. The western population of Greater Short-toed Lark has a disjunct breeding population throughout southern Europe with isolated populations as far north as central France and wintering in Africa from Algeria southwards. This first winter bird eas photographed at the fourth attempt on Penninis, St. Mary's and as usual is a 'back of camera' image.

One of my favourite British birds is the gorgeous little Firecrest which breeds sparcely in southern England and is also a passage migrant from Europe on the Isles of Scilly.

There are certain scarce passage migrants which you can reasonably expect to see on the Isles of Scilly every year and Wryneck is certainly one of them and to see it perched on the top of a lichen-covered drystone wall is perfect.

Whilst on Scilly I'm spending evenings going through my Australia photographs, a major task. Southern Cassowary is a much-wanted bird and once again we found one at our usual spot. One of the photographs showed the reason why you should be extremely wary of these giant birds, just look at those claws, they can easily rip you to pieces!

At Sydney airport waiting for flight back to the UK after a fabulous 7 weeks in Australia where I managed 16 'phototicks', then heading on to Isles of Scilly. My favourite plane, the Airbus A380, a marvel of engineering, I just hope that they lengthen the runway in time!

Nearly finished our Australia tour and seen some fantastic birds, stunning scenery and a few interesting animals. In the little spare time I have I've been doing some research on Spinifex Grass and on the paper I will be publishing soon I have come to the scientific conclussion that Spinifex Grass has two purposes in life; to cut your legs to pieces and hide some important endemic birds from you!
