Stunning Cornwall

What a weekend! Perfect weather and westerly winds meant it was third time very lucky for out seabird trip. On route to Cornwall we bagged Dartford Warbler at Woodbury Common Devon and Cirl Bunting at Prawle Point.
However the 8 hour pelagic on Saturday was the highlight. Epic views of Great Shearwater, Cory's Shearwater and Storm Petrel were enjoyed. We also had a Black Tern and a single Balearic Shearwater on way back to Penzance. We also had a couple of Sunfish off the boat.Thanks to Paul Semmens for organising such a brilliant trip.
On the Sunday we did a short seawatch from Pendeen and had 3 further Cory's Shearwater, 2 Great Shearwater and 2 Balearic Shearwater

Weekend in Cornwall didn't turn out as expected. First the pelagic boat trip was cancelled. Second the wind died on Sunday so the sea watching proved to be a complete waste of time. And it started off so promising on the first day with Cirl Bunting showing well in the awful light and rain of Friday at Prawle Point. We could see plenty of Manx Shearwater off the coast too. Our last day proved to be better with some good birds at Slimbridge. Wood Sandpiper, Spoonbill, Yellow legged gull and Crane
