Montage pics of some raptors seen this Spring in Cornwall. The Red-foot’s appear to have moved on now. They certainly provided some great entertainment and stunning views. Fave has to be the sec cal female at Predannack. (Goshawk was in Somerset).

@willsullivan_10 Welcome to Mousehole AFC, Will.

Can’t wait to get started 💚

Good luck in your “retirement “ Ben. Here’s a flashback to the week you were signed for Truro City. I remember sitting at the bar doing the interview. Maybe see you at @Mouseholeafc one day.

@reuben_veal1 Excellent analysis Reuben. A four year gap since the last bird puts me firmly in the “new bird” camp. Pretty sure BB would also treat as the same. A great find.

Chucked together some thoughts as to whether the current Pacific Diver relates to the 2007-2020 bird. Available here cbwps.org.uk/resources/arti… and comments welcome!

Definitely Perry.

The 1w Booted Eagle performed well in front of a few us this morning from the A394 roadbridge (over the railway line) at Marazion this morning. Even perching in front of us. It’s Cornwall’s third record and the same as the bird seen back in Oct 10th and 11th at St Just.

Well done John. Glad you connected.

Great pic Bob. Today’s Booted Eagle sighting at Marazion is considered the same bird as found by M Scott-Ham in Oct 24 at St Just and following day at Kenidjack. Today’s bird on left and St Just bird on right. Four months apart but little difference in detail. Comments welcome.

@HelstonAFC @Cornishfootball @NonLeagueCrowd @swsportsnews @SouthernLeague1 @CornwallSport @ThePacket Referee’s call I’m afraid.

GAME NOW OFF…… Somehow those who live in Cornwall and have knowledge of the local weather knew this was likely to happen. Nothing more to add

@scillybirder Not me Martin. Spent the night in the Ship, Mousehole!

@RunnelStone were you migrating north at Tebay last night? Glimpsed you then lost you!

@glennh534 @BobBosisto Sensational find. Well done.

Wow what a day! Still can't quite believe i found this American Yellow Warbler on my local patch at New Hythe in Kent today!!

@StBFCPaul @StBlazeyAFC @AFCSTAUSTELL @_WesternLeague_ @Cornishfootball @swsportsnews @nonleaguevol Pitch is looking good Paul, given the wet conditions. Good luck tomorrow.

@StBlazeyAFC v @AFCSTAUSTELL A damp xmas day but pitch ready for tomorrow. Kick off 11.00am. Clubhouse busy on Xmas day. Programmes printed to put together this evening. Never a quiet time over the festive period. @_WesternLeague_ @Cornishfootball @swsportsnews @nonleaguevol

@LeeEvansBirding Nostalgic picture. RIP Ernie, Hopper and Ian P.

A bygone age. Some great memories from Fair Isle in the 1980's. Sadly, several of these great Devonian/Somerset friends are no longer with us now. From a time when twitching birds was enjoyable and both Fair Isle and Scilly were the places to be each late September and October.

Pendeen Watch 8-10:30 3 Great Skua 1 Sooty Shearwater 21 Manx Shearwater 2 Great Northern Diver, 1 Red-throated Diver, ‘000’s auks / kitts 1 Sanderling 1 Merlin (Missed Great Shearwater, seen from car park 😕). Video below shows mixed alcids.

Sonogram comparison to Xeno Canto database.

Some comparison pics of the Sandy Cove, Cornwall Hume’s Warbler and Yellow-browed Warbler, both present together. Also reported on Sunday 15th for third day. First two pics show YBW on lower side. All others are the Hume’s. This is the second for 2024 and 7th for Cornwall. A sonogram comparison was also taken and is shown below. (Raoul Humphries).

Mousehole AFC club legends. All four. @MarkGolds10 Josh Otto, Mark Richards and Steve Burt. @MouseholeAFC

Absolutely delighted to find this Hume’s Warbler at Sandy Cove, Newlyn, Cornwall. Also good to get a side by side comparison with a Yellow-browed Warbler with a few meters of each other. Both calling. Paul Freestone and Raoul Humphries have call sonograms as well. There’s less than ten records for Cornwall. Thanks also to Pete Clement and Bob Bosisto for assistance and confirmation. #cornwallbirding ##ukbirding

Thank you Brian. Best wishes.
