Isles of Scilly      July 6th to 13th 2012

 

I spent this week walking and exploring three of the islands.  My main interest was photographing the wildlife. Staying on the smallest of the inhabited islands, Bryher.  I used this as a base to walk round the islands of Bryher, St Agnes and St Martin's.  The main islands of St Mary's and Tresco were left for another visit. Here is a collection of some of the photos that I took of  the wildlife seen.   To see some of the general photographs I took go to  VIEWS OF THE SCILLY ISLES
