We started in Porthcurno Valley at St Levan's Church...
the scene of one of my major dips...
SCARLET TANAGER 22/10/2011
The bird decided to visit Scilly without telling me... after I'd changed my flight time!!!
We had a nice stroll around...but IT wasn't here.
I then drove down to Porthgwarra. More bad memories.
HERMIT THRUSH 1/11/2013
I should have got this bird but waited for news at Exeter as I had to drive to Scotland for MOURNING DOVE...(which I got). Fatal!!!
YELLOW-BILLED CUCKOO 25/10/2014
Marooned on Scilly...were it should've been!
All mentioned before BUT good to exorcise the demons.
Then I remembered I had to check in with the boss... always a good move. I knew Trevor Charlton was down here but didn't want to cramp his style due to my mobility issues. Anyway, as I was parked at the side of the road he pulled up in front of me!
He'd also been at PG.
We had a chat and then headed to Nanquidno Valley. What a superb spot! This valley was home to the VARIED THRUSH of November 1982.
Day 2 will begin back at PG with Trevor...
