Shame not many Cornish birders put sightings on here,not like the other county threads plenty of birders putting there sighting on them.Cornish birders must still like to keep there sightings to themselfs.
 
I have to agree but maybe many of the cornwall contingent aren't online!

Well i'll follow suit Chris and be posting my sightings up here when I get back down to Cornwall soon. Thanks for all your sightings and great photos Chris. Nice to hear what's around in the East of the county.

If you are wanting a one-stop-website for all your cornwall info check out www.cornwall-birding.co.uk

Thanks.
Henerz.
 
Well Cornish birders used to be notorious for keeping birds to themselfs, seems like old habits die hard.

And comments like yours dont help the people trying to change things. The main reasons for the lack of records on here is that: A.there are very few cornwall birders that are BF members and B. records are sent to Birdline sw, RBA or Cornwall Birding Website. Try looking at the latter, i think you may find most if not all of the bird sightings for Cornwall AND the Scillies in recent months. As you stated, Conish Birders USED to be notorious. There is still an element, as there are in every county, who will keep birds to themselves. There is nothing you will ever change about them, but i can assure you there are farmore birds reported from cornwall than supressed. Hope the website goes someway to changing your opinion roker!
 
and p.s. I cant find a website letting people know whats about in Sunderland? Cornwall has three or four sites releasing news daily.

Have you got a link you can stick on? My google search facility is crap! And has the Cornwall Birding website changed your opinion at all? Even a little bit? To be honest there are very few Cornish birders. There are Cornwall birders but most are not cornish (like me, Yorkshireman!)

Hi try www. durhambirdclub.org/,i have just checked the Cornwall birding site looks good,still cannot understand why very few Cornish birders dont put there sightings on this forum,All the other county forums get well used.

RE:above. Don't worry I've found it. Nice site although it appears all the bird information is taken from birdguides. There is equally as much info about birds in Cornwall on Cornwall Birding and a lot supplied straight to the site by those who dont have pagers etc, so no supression there i believe.
If you need any more info about bird reports in Cornwall try these:
Cornwall Birds
Sennen Cove Birdwatching
Falmouth Birding
and of course Cornwall Birding.
If all else fails try ringing Birdline SW 09068 700241

I think that should just about cover any news you might need to know about.
