MARAZION
We went to Perranuthnoe for the first time ever, looking for the Hudsonian Whimbrel.
We missed it so we consoled ourselves with coffee and cake from the cafe and
then on to Long Rock, Marazion for the Glossy Ibis.

Is Plastic Fantastic?
I saw this unfortunate Cormorant a few days ago at Swanpool. The RSPB site says they do not (apparently), deal with injured birds, which I could maybe understand if it was an act of nature but this is a man made problem. The RSPCA said they were aware of the situation and were monitoring it daily! What do they think is going to happen? certainly the fishing line/net is not going to just fall off. Maybe they are monitoring how long it takes it to starve to death. Myself and Peter from the Swanpool Cafe did try to approach it but it moved further away. I'm sure that one of the professional organisation, with their expertise could manage to rescue the poor thing. Hopefully, it has now been dealt with one way or another.
