Jeez! When was that! Bet you wished you'd had your camera!
Possible SEMIPALMATED SANDPIPER at Hayle this evening. Flushed by Peregrine before ID could be clinched! Hopefully it will be back tomorrow.

Great pics Tav - I have just got back (yesterday) from 5 days in St Ives. I have been there so many times, but never with any interest in the birding side, so it was amusing for that factor... seeing birds which have probably been passing me by unnoticed before.

I have to say that seeing gannets fishing was rather good, though they were a tad too far out for any pics. Saw some fulmars too, and probably others which I didn't recognise.

Also popped over to Wheal Cotes, as I spotted peregrines there last time. Saw them again albeit briefly yesterday, plus several kestrels, more gannets and a smattering of wheatears, pipits and stonechats.

On a different note - I have to say that the colours from the heather and wild flowers near Wheal Cotes is absolutely stunning. Worth seeing for that alone!

Brilliant photos once again Tav94. You're making me want to get out on one of those pelagics, now!

Paul, I'll be back in Falmouth for the last week of Sept, which is not perfect but should leave 1 good week of birding while stuff is on the move. Hopefully we'll meet up sometime (when the next mega turns up at College Res i'm hoping!). Thanks.
