Isles of Scilly

The Isles of Scillly are an archipelago of some 150 islands and rocks, lying 28 miles south west of Cornwall.

In the summer, people visit the Isles to enjoy the unspoilt sandy beaches and clear blue seas.

But autumn is an equally good time to visit the islands for a stunning wildlife experience and some bird rarities.
