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.

The Last 2 Weeks.

We have had terrible computer problems, all fixed now, hence the lack of posts.

We thought we had better get something up or you'll all think we're dead and buried.

John's taken these over the last few weeks.

Ryan's Field and Land's End.

Nice to see some birds for a change, although we didn't get the Wryneck we hoped for.
These Sandwich Terns were taken at Ryan's Field, as was the Common Sandpiper.
The Ruff and Wheatear were taken at St. Gothian Sands.

This Common Darter took a fancy to John.
