Thoroughly enjoyable BirdTrack walk this afternoon at Godrevy. Sparrowhawk flying out to the island was a treat although I don't think the waders saw it that way.

Today was a little Birdtracking on the Roseland. Part of our BirdTrack list was around St Just in Roseland church. The kneeling pads inside the church are awesome.

Also, during my visit to Truro I visited Waterstones and walked out with four species monographs by Stephen Moss . Looking forward to reading these.

a lovely time Truro Cathedral today for the Wildlife Photography exhibition. Also here is the Gaia on it's world tour, a very impressive globe spinning on its axis. The painting was in the Gaia Earth Artwork exhibition and reminded me of the work of Hannah Bourne-Taylor .

Wow, just had a brand new species for my BTO Garden BirdWatch survey - Grey Heron by the pond. Should I be excited or worried. 😳

The Jay is Green listed and this is the best time of year to see them according to BirdTrack data when they are dispersing from breeding grounds and caching food for the winter. Up to 5000 acorns can be cached. A bird ringed in Surrey was shot dead in Cornwall the following year
