Went out with the kids for a few hours whilst Michelle took the bus to Penzance.
Started off at St. Levan. Quiet. No sign of the reported Richard’s Pipit or any of the reported Lapland Buntings. Took the coastal path to Porthgwara were we enjoyed a pastie. Still not many birds, but good fun, and Tom did a bit of sea-watching.
After Sam went Surfing at Sennen, we continued to the Cot Valley for a final look for birds. Seemed very quiet for Passerines, though a Chough and a Peregrine were good to see. Finally managed to find something half decent on the beach: A Black Redstart.
Tom needed to get back to revise, so I spent the last half hour of light at Mousehole. Found a Firecrest; a good bird to end the trip
