Seems funny now after all the sightings! Did you get to see any?
 
Thanks to everyone for keeping this thread going, especially TAV94!! I'm working on a new website at the moment so would appreciate your sightings, comments and photos for that soon (www.cornwall-birding.co.uk). Will put a new thread on when its up and running properly.
Not that much to report in the way of birds apart from:
Quail - singing yesterday evening at Nanjizal
few Pomskuas seen in mounts bay and roseate tern there on tuesday.
Stone curlew - sennen, flew north over Trinity cottages at 5.50pm yesterday
American herring gull in fields near sennen too, yesterday.
 
Sounds like a great idea, should bring together more members of the cornwall birding community. Looking forward to the website.
