Great to find my first English Choughs at Botallack. Must have been 15 of them around the cliff tops near the Levant mine
Always good when the Common Terns return to nest at RSPB St Aidians

Great to see the Drake Smew at my local Knotford Nook Otley this lunch time.
Well finally got to South Gare this morning for the Bluethroat and spent 4 hours trying to locate with many others. Consensus was it might have finally continued on its travels due to clear sky last night. Went onto Hunley Golf Club for the reported Richard’s Pupit and missed that one as well 🫣
Sniezeholme Forest in search of red squirrels and didn’t expect to see them so close
