St Ives Island oddity….
March 7th, 2008
On Saturday 1st March i called up to see the ladies at St Ives Coastguard Watchpoint for a chat and a cuppa. It was a beautiful sunny day and was nice to escape the busy town centre. My first Fulmar of the year drifted west and one of the ladies alerted me to a brown bird flying towards us. As it got closer i realised it was a Stone Curlew! Usually confined to thier breeding areas in Norfolk and Suffolk, i’ve no idea where this one came from. It flew west around Mann Head and out of sight. A new bird for my Cornwall List.
