Hermit Thrush at Porthgwara

St. LevanBack to Porthgwara for the Hermit Thrush. About ten of us were lucky enough to see it at dawn. Although the views were great, the light was a bit dim so I hung around. After a couple of hours there was no further sign so I went for a walk to St. Levan. Not much was seen, but on my return, early afternoon, I arrived at just the moment the Thrush was re-found and I enjoyed more good views in good light!

After a pasty to celebrate I did Nanjizal. Again, not much. I then went back to St. Levan where a few fields from where I was looking, a Red-breasted Flycatcher had been found and enjoyed good views. Finally I did a quick look around at Porthcurno before the rain began to come down heavily.
