Isles of Scilly Naturetrek Tour Report 14 - 21 September 2019 Porthcressa and the Garrison Red Squirrel Grey Seals Birdwatching on Peninnis Head Report & Images by Andrew Cleave Naturetrek Mingledown Barn Wolf's Lane Chawton Alton Hampshire GU34 3HJ UK T: +44 (0)1962 733051 E: [email protected] W: www.naturetrek.co.uk Tour Report Isles of Scilly Tour participants: Andrew Cleave (leader) plus 12 Naturetrek clients Summary Our early-autumn week on the Isles of Scilly was timed to coincide with the bird migration which is easily observed on the islands. Our crossings to and from Scilly on Scillonian III enabled us to see seabirds in their natural habitat, and the many boat trips we took during the week gave us close views of plenty of the resident and migrant birds which were feeding and sheltering closer to shore. We had long walks on all of the inhabited islands and as well as birds, managed to see some marine mammals, many rare plants and some interesting intertidal marine life. Informative evening lectures by resident experts were well received and we also sampled lovely food in many of the pubs and cafés on the islands. Our waterfront accommodation in Schooners Hotel was very comfortable and ideally placed for access to the harbour and Hugh Town. Day 1 Saturday 14th September We began our trip in Penzance harbour where we boarded Scillonian III for the crossing to Scilly. Conditions were fine for the crossing and those of us up on deck had good views of seabirds, including Gannets, Fulmars and winter-plumage auks as we followed the Cornish coast and then headed out into the Atlantic. -

It was a misty spring morning with poor visibility which represented no problem for the steamship but threatened to delay the journey of the tour members who had opted to travel to Scilly by air. With the World Gig Racing Championships taking place on the islands over the weekend I was expecting a full complement of passengers on the vessel but whilst it was undoubtedly busy the numbers were fewer than I feared. Eventually the ropes were cast off and we began the three hour sailing to St Mary’s, passing several summer plumaged Great Northern Divers before we had ventured far into Mount’s Bay. Others were observed on the flat calm sea as we drew opposite Newlyn and in total at least six birds were noted, most in summer or partial summer dress. We were scanning for Basking Sharks but sadly none were seen although just a month later over 40 were counted between Penzance and Land’s End! As we made our way parallel with the South Cornish coast the cliffs were barely visible in the mist becoming more and more indistinct as our route took us further out to sea. -

Tin and tungsten mineralisation in the Isles of Scilly EVIDENCE OF TIN AND TUNGSTEN MINERALISATION IN THE ISLES OF SCILLY J.B. G RANT 1 AND C.W.E.H. S MITH 2 Grant, J.B. and Smith, C.W.E.H. 2012. Evidence of tin and tungsten mineralisation in the Isles of Scilly. Geoscience in South-West England , 13 , 65-70. A northeast/north-northeast trending zone at the northern margin of the Isles of Scilly is examined for evidence of cassiterite mineralisation. Cassiterite is recorded at a historical locality and also on two more islands within the group. In-situ cassiterite mineralisation is recorded at two otherwise unrecorded localities: one on the north-west of Tresco and one on Bryher. Wolframite, cassiterite and apatite are identified at White Island (St Martin’s). 1 Tanyanga, Wheal Leisure, Perranporth, Cornwall, TR6 0EY, U.K. 2 Longstone Lodge, Longstone Hill, Carbis Bay, St. Ives, Cornwall, TR26 2LJ, U.K. (E-mail: [email protected]). Keywords: Isles of Scilly, cassiterite, wolframite, greisen, pegmatite. INTRODUCTION The fieldwork was initiated in 1979 following a discussion between one of the authors (C. W. Smith) and the late Roger Penhallurick, then assistant curator at the Royal Institution of Cornwall, which led to confirmation of early records of the presence of cassiterite on the Isles of Scilly, (Penhallurick, 1986). Desk study of reports by previous workers and, more recently, reference to satellite mapping data, suggested to the authors that a narrow zone, in the northern part of the islands should be the first area to be studied in detail.
