DESERT WHEATEAR at PORTHGWARRA

I finally went down to Porthgwarra for the Desert Wheatear and then 

spent a couple of hours birding around Penzance and Longrock.

Not a lot about but still a nice way to spend the afternoon.

Home Grown Chicks.

This pair of Sparrows bred in our garden nest box. I say they, but he fled the scene and left her to raise 4 chicks on her own, which she did successfully.

A week after they had all fledged he returned and starting rebuilding the nest and sits on top of the nest box most days singing. So far he has had no takers.

Out and About

Went down to see the Snowy Owl on Friday ( I fell in the Gorse, sue ), although we saw it, it was too far away to get a decent picture. Had to settle for a Wren instead, not quite the same.

The Little Egret was taken at the Library in Hayle.
