Cornwall (Day 7)

KestrelSpent the whole day birding Porthgwara. A misty start, brightening later, then misty again in the afternoon. Highlights were a Dartford Warbler (thought it may be something better first of all – apparently they now breed here), Short-eared Owl (awful shot in the mist below), Black Redstart, and the usual Firecrest.
