Eventually got around to seeing the Snowy Owl at Zennor, Corwall. An enjoyable morning wandering around the moors with Tom, Cris Freddi, John Murray, and Marcus Kohler attempting to get better views, which we occasionally did, though never great. Also seen were a Peregrine and a ring-tail Hen Harrier, several hundred Golden Plovers, and a few Dunlin, and a Raven.
After a quick Cornish Pasty on the Hayle, we headed to Radipole for the Hooded Merganser. A nice bird, but would be surprised if it ever gets accepted. Four Mediterranean Gulls were also seen, two each of first and second winters.
