I had my first 3 figure count of Balearics since I moved back to Cornwall this afternoon. Around 75-80% were very dark ‘sooty’ like ones. My new spot at PG is great for good close views of them

Always handy when birds fly over your head and land 20m away! #minimaleffort

A nice distraction from work as this popped up in the back garden today

A few arrivals on patch today. Nice to hear the first willow warbler of the spring too

It’s been a slow winter for white wingers so was pleased to find one on patch this morning

Mass feeding frenzy off PZ, 1000s of gulls and gannets along with Risso’s, common dolphin and humpback whale. Glauc and kumlien’s the best birds so far

Decent start to the year on patch despite the high winds and rain, sooty, Balearic, Manx shears and bonxie the seawatching highlights and a flyover glossy ibis and Slav grebe later in the day

Two spp of shearwater so far to start the year off. Hundreds of kittiwakes, auks and gannets moving too

Thousands of hirundines moving east over the sea and house this evening, an amazing spectacle!

First decent vismig session of the autumn on patch this morning with waders, pipits and larks dominating proceedings. The sunrise wasn’t too bad either
