After a bit of a wait, the Iberian/Southern-type Yellow Wagtail at Marazion eventually showed well enough along the back of the pool this afternoon. A stunning bird! Cornwall Birds

Lovely to see Cornish Chough at the weekend on the north coast cliffs.

A bird showing characteristics of Iberian Wagtail has been found today at Marazion Marsh, Cornwall. Photos have been taken and the very raspy call heard but not yet sound recorded.

Surprisingly there are just four U.K. records of Iberian Wagtail but none accepted for Cornwall.…

The annual Spring Red Kite influx is well under way in West Cornwall. I saw around 40 today though a massive 188 were recorded over Penzance on the 8th May.

By the end of May, counts will top 300 easily. This strange phenomenon where young kites visit Cornwall in May, then…
