Thought I would post some shots of the Eastern Black-Redstart at Mousehole.
The light was awful so 1 or 2 of them have been through a filter.
A Lovely bird to see in Cornwall.
The Yellow-Browed Warbler was taken at Tehidy Country Park.

KESTREL AT FALMOUTH'S CASTLE BEACH.
I WATCHED THIS KESTREL FROM THE PATH OVER-LOOKING
THE BEACH AT FALMOUTH. IT CAME IN REALLY CLOSE AND
WASN'T AT ALL PUT OFF BY ALL THE PEOPLE WATCHING IT.

AROUND THE ORCHARD
AFTER GETTING PERMISSION FROM THE OWNER, I SPENT A
DAY WANDERING AROUND A LOCAL ORCHARD.
FIELDFARES WERE QUITE NUMEROUS BUT VERY FEW REDWINGS.
MORE EXCITING THOUGH WAS THE STOAT THAT STARED AT ME
AND THEN DECIDED HE WASN'T GOING TO BE PUT OFF HIS LUNCH.

HAYLE ESTUARY & SWANPOOL.
Well, I never did catch up with the Franklin's Gull that's been hanging
around but I did see this Cattle Egret on Hayle Estuary instead of
in a field of Cattle so that was an unexpected bonus.
The Nuthatches were taken at Lelant Saltings.
