Cornish birding

Hello

A visit to some rough pasture and scrub this morning near Lands End provided views of a Grey Catbird, an American bird dumped in Cornwall almost certainly the result of Storm Callum. He/she was lively if a little skulking and has already learnt that Blackberries are nice to eat!

We also visited the beach at Sennen, birded the habitat around Porthgwarra and finished the day walking the valley at Kenidjack near St Just.

We saw plenty of Ravens and quite a number of Choughs, a Merlin, a Short-eared Owl, 3-4 Yellow-browed Warblers and huge numbers of corvids and pigeons/doves all west of Penzance. Common Buzzards were spiralling up and calling in beautiful autumn sunshine and the Starlings were flying high up catching insects.

Regards
