St Agnes

A fast disappearing Whimbrel started the day off at Porthcressa...

Today we visited St Agnes...

view north from Gugh bar

I've always liked coming here but today it wasn't at it's best birdwise...and that's an understatement! I like to think I tried hard but apart from a handful of Chiffchaffs I drew a blank. 3 YB Warblers were reported. One was in here...

...the site of many a rare bird.

More sites/sights than birds to report I'm afraid. Tomorrow will be the day?

The 23rd always lands a BIG one...
