Excellent, and gripping, memories. See my reply to Steve Dudley above, a cracking pic of the Telegraph bird from the 1991 Scilly Review 🙌

This great photo of the Telegraph bird is in the 1991 review… I’ve also found a photo of the one on Tresco in 1992, but currently struggling to track down a photo of the 1993 bird!

Great to see a rarity with such a rich history in Scilly birding folklore 🙌

Great effort 🙌

Judging by the length of the skull/jaws it’s most likely a short-beaked common dolphin

…he is a talented long-distance runner (coastal trail running, not road running) and is incredibly driven and motivated by his personal goals and challenges. We appreciate guidelines, but not everyone fits in the box. We work with him to plan his endurance events based on his ability.

Thanks for your concern. This was not an organised event. My son has been running since he was six years old & has been setting himself endurance challenges since the age of 8. He has to date completed 55km in 5 days, a half marathon, & recently a triathlon, having raised upwards of £8k for charity
