Marazion and Portgwarra

Went with the family to St. Michaels Mount in the morning followed by cricket on the beach and a decent lunch in the pub overlooking they bay. Seven Brent Geese were present. Then, spent half an hour or so at Marizion, never having been before; usual stuff; Cetti’s Warbler etc.

Then went with Tom for the last couple of hours of light to Porthgwara to try for the very elusive Richard’s Pipit. I had what I was sure was a large – non-calling – Pipit in flight (presumably the bird) but we could not re-find it. Fortunately a frustrating couple of hours was partially saved by a flyover Lapland Bunting last thing.
