I'd offer you our spare bed for the night, but unfortunately no spare room at the moment as the girlfriends mum is down until the 21st or so, but if it would help on your way back out of Cornwall the offer is there ... (Could ask around for the 20th ... if you haven't got anything else organised)Looking on your bubo list (144 for the year, not bad <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite2" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=";)" /> ) - note the following species you should get in Cornwall -Rock Dove (everyone counts Feral Pigeon, these days, unless you want to stay pure and wait until Scotland)  Whooper Swan - Helston v easy (Also Siberian Chiffchaff (nice subspecies) easy at the location.)Barn Owl, Fulmar, Great Northern Diver, Blackcap, Common Sandpiper, King Eider, Whimbrel, Dipper - all in Falmouth and 90 -100% chance of getting.Black-throated Diver, Little Bunting, Pacific Diver, Spotted Redshank, Mandarin, Lesser Scaup, Chough, Razorbill etc - all in Cornwall and en route (ish) - obviously some more important to target than others.Of course most all/you can get elsewhere later on, shame the YB Warblers have done a bunk (seemingly) but should get them later too.</blockquote>
