Greetings Birders
While I accept that this is not truly Australian brding it does follow up on
a previous thread.
I made a little faux pas when confusing the Channel and Scilly Isles].
One correspondent [sorry forgotten name and inadvertently deleted email]
said that most of the Scilly Isles October migrants were in fact "ship
assisted."
This I questioned at the time and contacted Lee Even, of UK twitching fame.
Love him or find him a joke, few could gainsay that Lee is among the UK's
foremost birders; a man of vast birding experience and something of an
expert on Scilly Isles birds.
I attach his reply to my simple query below.
Cheers
Julian

Hi Julian
Nice to hear from you but sorry to hear about your plight
There has never, as far as I know, been any evidence of any known
ship-assisted vagrant on the Isles of Scilly
All the very best
Lee Evans
