[QUOTE="David Roche, post: 1383027, member: 72462"] Looks like I can backup the "6 bird theory"... I had a group of 3 redhead Goosanders feeding in Carbis bay on the evening of the 10th. I suspect that 2 of them were young drakes, given the light scaling on the flanks, but they still looked esscentially like "redheads" Clearly just a matter of bad timing and coincidence, given that your bird was presumably an obvious drake! Best I could manage with the gulls were a couple of Meds. Other highlights as follows: [B]Greenshank[/B] (3) - From the train, at Lelant saltings 10/1 [B]Firecrest[/B] - St Ives (in the Sycamores above the railway station west of Porthminster Point) 12th and 14th [B]Purple Sandpiper[/B] (3) on the rocks below St Ives island. 14/1 [B]Hen Harrier [/B] Ringtail at Zennor 12th and 13th [B]Great Northern Diver [/B] Two in Carbis bay and two from St Ives island both 14/1 And last but not least... one [B]Snowy Owl[/B]!
