According to BirdTrack fewer birds are being recorded, compared to last year but I am personally seeing more, at more sites.

Interstingly the regional results show Blackcap recorded on more (10-15%) complete lists that Chiffchaff (5-10%) which I find surprising.

Interestingly enough, the CBWPS sightings page seems to be working fine though the main page is indeed coming up with a temporary domain place holder.

Discovered this myself when I uploaded the daily bird news. The web master has been informed and hopefully he will be able to sort it out. In the meantime you can access the news page via the second link below.

I go to swan pool couple of times a week. We were on our way from Cornwall canoes to hayle when we stopped off. Putting new bins on hold for new kayak, should be able to get closer along the fal to use the ones I've got. Fancy giving it a go?

Whilst travelling to Stoke Climsland over the last few weeks I have been most impressed by the very large flock of Lapwings present in the fields around the turning to Duchy College. There must be at least 100 birds. Is this usual?

 

[Tinbum]

Marazion yesterday gave many teal, a pair of shellducks, a pair of little grebe, many grey heron (one pair nest building) chiff-chaffs and loadsa snipe amongst others.
