Tough n the rare bird front again today. Started quite well with a Whitethroat and Jack Snipe at Lower Moors before breakfast and then a Spotted Flycatcher as soon as we got to the Garrison.

Also here were several Blackcap and a flyover Spoonbill. 15+ Swallow were feeding overhead with single House and Sand Martin. Plenty of Red Admiral and a Clouded Yellow in the sun.

As we walked back into town a Hummingbird Hawkmoth put on a great show.

On Peninnis the 2 Snow Bunting were showing well at point blank range and a Kestrel was hunting the headland while 6 Harbour Porpoises were off-shore. Speckled Wood were basking in the sun on the track down to Old Town.

At Lower Moors the Jack Snipe was again showing badly.

Between Lower Moors and Porth Loo the Red-breasted Flycatcher eventually showed well, but under the canopy so difficult to photo.
