Cornwall (Day 6)

St. Michael's MountA family day with a bit of birding. Went to Cot whilst waiting for them to get ready. Very quiet.

Then went to St. Michael’s Mount and Marazion. Then attempted the Hudsonian Whimbrel nearby at Perranuthnoe. No joy, think the tide was wrong. Reported there later on. A Yellow-browed Warbler was heard.

Then went to Porthgwara and walked to St. Levan and back with a cream tea at the Minack Theatre half way. Yellow-browed Warbler still present by the church.
