Birding the valleys

Citrine Wagtail on the beach at Marazion

Our first full day in West Cornwall got off to a good start with the 1st winter Citrine Wagtail on the beach at Marazion. We then spent the rest of the day searching the valleys for migrants. In the end we did see a few including: Pied & Spotted Flycatcher, Firecrest and Willow Warbler as well as Wheatear & Whinchat. The day concluded with reasonable views of Red-backed Shrike at Pendeen and Osprey over the Hayle estuary.
