A top day in Cornwall today. Baird's Sandpiper, Buff-breasted Sandpiper, Pectoral Sandpiper and Curlew Sandpiper. Two lifers and brilliant experiences. Had some lovely chats with birders too. Couldn't have asked for a better day.

LIFER! 9 hours over four seperate occasions but I saw my 260th bird, the stunning Rose-Coloured Starling. What a beauty. Lovely chats with some brilliant birders and locals rooting for us to see it. Can't imagine there are many locals in Wembury who do not know about them!

Lovely day in Cornwall. We visited Sennen, Lands End, Geevor, Drift and Hayle. Highlight species were wood sandpiper, ringed plover, green sandpiper and chough. Also a cute little weasel nuzzling into Matt!

What an amazing 30th birthday! We rented a hide at Brine Pits to watch Little Owls. We spent 7 hours watching a family of 5 owls parade around. The babies were adorable. I couldn’t think of a better way to spend my day. The mummy was definitely upset that her peace was disturbed here!

We managed to find time between work and long walks to do a bit of birding locally in Devon. It's a bit of a mish mash since we didn't really have a plan at any point, but we still saw some good stuff and had a nice time. Staying Local: Birding in Devon

Brilliant 8 mile walk yesterday on Dartmoor searching for Red Grouse. Didn't see them but saw this awesome Red Kite instead. I swear I can still hear skylarks in my head.
