A Weeks Birding and Mothing In Cornwall

[CJW]

Well, it's quite a long read and I haven't the technical know-how to post it in it's entirity on the Forums, so get yourselves a beer or two and sit down for a long night!

Cornwall Trip Report (http://www.homepages.mcb.net/wormwell/a_weeks_birding_and_mothing_in_c.htm)

There's quite a few photos on some of the links, so they may take a while to download.
Hope it's not too boring!

Welcome back CJW,

Great write up, really enjoyed reading it. Well written, funny and, of course very envy-making!

I agree about the Little Egrets... they've got a real gripper dahn sarf!

It was interesting to read about the moths. After my Convolvulus this year my interest has really picked up, but still you've reported about a dozen or more that I've never heard of.

Unfortunately, I've got a poor connection at the minute, it seems, so I haven't been able to look at any of your photos.


I'll be back...!!!

Great report CJW I am envious of your Deaths Head Hawk Moth, although didn't see it in your final listing. I hate it when you list Goldcrests as common sightings I have been looking for years and only recently found one and on my on patch to boot. I think the Merlin is a super little raptor I was lucky enough to see one in flight and hunting then rest up on a gate post close enough to get a good close up view.

I have been trying to view your report,CJW,but just get error messages.
Perhaps there is a fault with your website?

[CJW]

It looks that way Trevor. The server has been playing up all day. I'll get on to them tomorrow.

Homepages now up and running again so the site can be accessed.

CJW, Just printed out your report. I have just come back from Kernow myself and seem to have been to the places you went to. I have nearly finished my report and will probably post it on BF too. Will read yours now.

A great report and a healthier list than I got. I missed out on the American Wigeon!!!

Great report Chris. I've never been to Cornwall in October. I really must make an effort one year. I think I had about 3 moths during the whole time you were away, so I'm pretty envious. Death's Head Hawk-moth must have been nice, Ray didn't mention that in his texts.
