Hi Tony

I did a 30-40 min sortie this morning (07:15-07:45ish) around the area in Gulval you indicated, but as you hinted, no sign of the Little Bunting. A few Chaffinch, Blue Tit, Wren and overhead Raven. I did check some 'weedy' fields further east with no success. I popped down to Marazion and Long Rock to see if anything was on the sea, but only 2x Wheatear on the rocks at Long Rock car park. Later had 3x Purple Sandpiper on rocks St Ives Island and 6x Sandwich Tern fishing in the area.

Thanks again

Adam
