Landsend area Sunday and Monday

Got back from Landsend yesterday only to hear about the Great-spotted Cuckoo so went out again today to Nanquidno and Cot Valley. Just left Cot Valley when we heard it had been spotted again back we went but still no luck. It will be Friday before we can get out again by which time it will probably have gone. Couldn't find the Cattle Egrets and only one sighting of Black Redstart. Had our first Butterfly of the season, and saw a small blue one but couldn't get a shot.



John put the fear of God up me, scrambling down cliffs to get these Fulmar.(I've increased the insurance)

    I'm looking forward to visiting England again so we can see more of the country and your birds.
    Great shots, though I would keep an eye on Sue and the insurance agent...
