    Sorry Lawts but of those only Purple Hairstreak and SW Fritillary occur in Cornwall and those mostly in the East. If you're coming down from Wetherby perhaps best to stop somewhere en route, maybe get sites for Devon or Gloucestershire.

    Would that be the same local birders who are posting nice close-up photos of the bird on the CBWPS website? Bit odd considering the bird is only "viewable distantly".

In 2008 Seawatch SW had a couple of people on a research ship in the SW Approaches and they recorded Madeirans coming to chum all the way up from Biscay to...
