Cornwall 03/03 a Cornish tick Killdeer at Chapel amble ! a great find by Shaun Grose in a wet field behind the pub
#UKbirding #Cornwallbirding
Killdeer at Chapel Amble, Cornwall. (4th April β26). A county tick for me.
Itβs the 5th county record. The first was way back in 1957 and the last was 2002, when a one-day bird was found at Gwithian.
An incredible find by Shaun Grose as he also found the recent Rossβs Gullπ

Close up picture showing the pale lower mandible, pale orange legs and long sweeping supercilium. This wintering bird has offered 4 mths of great opportunities to get to grips with its finer id features.

Dusky Warbler at Boscathnoe 28th March 2026.
The wintering Dusky Warbler showed well this morning at its faithful spot. Present from 17th December and never really ventured further than the reservoir perimeter. Today it gave incredible views. It has also been heard singing.

A lovely souvenir of a recent trip to Cornwall to see a rare ROSSβS GULL. No birder in their right mind would ever tire of being in the company of such a species.
Massive thanks to Theresa Owens for sharing her talents.

A first winter Bonaparteβs Gull was found at Marazion beach, in front of the Godolphin hotel on Sun 15th March. It was still present 16th and I saw it well with several Black-headed Gulls. Whether it is a wandering bird or a new one is difficult to say. Thereβs a few around!

Manx Shearwater is back in Cornish waters in numbers. 317 this morning off Porthgwarra and 515 yesterday off Pendeen Watch.
Also 3 Puffin today, the first for the year for me. Over next three weeks, peak numbers pass Cornwall heading north to the breeding grounds.

The wintering Dusky Warbler at Boscathnoe Res, nr Penzance. Found on 17th Dec and still present 7th March 2026. Quite amazing considering this species normally winters in South East Asia.
