    Fieldfare. Very Very Urgent (now resolved as Mistle Thrush)

    All sorted, simple case of misidentification. Happens to us all. Still, as you quite rightly say Mark, Mistle Thrushes are not common in Cornwall so your record will still be useful to the county recorder. all the best,

    Scilly in October

    Go for definate!! Why is it costing so much? Why not go with a few others, share the cost of accomodation and eat cheap at the Scillonian club! Its superb on the islands, you wont be dissappointed. Dont go with the idea that it will be wall to wall rarities, cos it often isn't! As you say, last...

    Just had this thread pointed out to me (Thanks Rich!) and have taken off my Fatbirder counter as a pre-caution anyway. Too much time, data and effort to lose my websites for the sake of an Ego-counter!

    birding near Tintagel

    Hi Dawny, I agree with Jon, have a look at the Camel Estuary thread for birds in that area. If you want Choughs then the Lizard is your closest bet. THere are plenty of other places on the Lizard to go birding. Try Croft Pascoe Pools for Hobby and Dartford Warbler or Nightjars etc at dusk...
