Still very little in the way of rarities as we hit the quieter months in Cornwall. Presumably the same GREAT WHITE EGRET that was over Marazion on the 11th June was seen over Clodgy Point, St Ives on the 15th. The drake BLACK DUCK was still at the north end of Loveny NR at Colliford Lake throughout the past week and the Glaucous Gull was still at Newlyn Harbour. A Sooty Shearwater flew past Pendeen on 19th June. Lets hope we have  a good wader and seabird season this year.

Work to take down the old forecourt structures at the causeway Hayle has been halted due to nesting Swallows! Police were called by a concerned member of the public who could see the distressed birds flying and calling around a workman with an angle-grinder who was near to their nest. Workman were told to down tools and work has been suspended until the Swallows have finished nesting.

The RSPB and Police recently recieved a report that the three young peregrines at Godrevy had been stolen from the nest. We are pleased to report that this is not the case and that all three flew from the nest on their own accord and appear to be doing well.
