A trip down to Cornwall today for todays birding . With our 1st stop being at Ruan Lanihorne to look for a juvenile Purple Heron that has been seen there for a few days , but we couldn`t see it anywhere and all we saw was a Common Sandpiper and 3 Stock Dove .
So we went on down to the tip of Cornwall to a spot near Sennen where we looked at a ploughed field and in it was a juvenile American Golden Plover , a very smart looking Eurasian Dotterel ( The 1st I have seen for quite a few years ) , a European Golden Plover , at least 10 White Wagtail and 3 Northern Wheatear .
We then decided to start heading back home and on the way we again stopped for another look for the juvenile Purple Heron and this time our luck was in but it was quite distant and only just showing in the long grass , our last stop was at Davidstow Airport where 3 Buff-Breasted Sandpiper all juveniles showed very well , the most that I have ever seen together .
Most of todays birds were very distant in falling rain hence the photos ! but I hope to try again on a better day .
