    Off to Spain tomorrow.... Leaving all these rarities to the twitching brigade! I see the Pelican has finished it's Devon holiday, and headed back to Cornwall.. Good to have it on my 'seen from the house' list.

    Damn, I do check the CBWPS site, but forgot last night! Was just wondering if it had been seen from the shore. Whatever, a great record! And thanks too!

    OK, back home, sorry I didn't meet any of you locals. Couldn't make the internet work last night or I'd have put on: Black Redstart at Castle Beach at the second attempt. 9 Black-necked Grebes off Mylor Church, plus 3 Eider (one fine drake) then up to College res where I found a Bittern tucked...

    Hi Carol, it's got the Papilloma virus or knemidophytic* (mange?), which is very unpleasant looking and sadly incurable.... They seem to be able to get on ok with it, I've seen them with only one foot, and occasionally trap one when I'm mist netting. They can't be ringed but out of interest we...

    Good to have you back Dan! In Falmouth at the weekend, but probably not out much (ancient Dad in tow). Pasty at Pendennis Sat or Sun lunch depending on the weather are possibilities.
