Stithians Reservoir and Falmouth pelagic

An early check of Stithians Reservoir produced a Wood Sandpiper and a Curlew Sandpiper with two Redshanks, as well as a Snipe, a Greenshank, two Common Sandpipers, a Curlew, a Mediterranean Gull, a Raven, a Sand Martin and a Swift.



The rest of the day was spent on a boat with AKK Wildlife out from Falmouth. It was a beautiful calm day and a fun way to spend the day but not the best conditions for seabirds. We did, however, manage a Balearic Shearwater, a Puffin, three Arctic Skuas, two Bonxies, five Guillemots, three Common Terns, three Fulmars, hundreds of Gannets and Manx Shearwaters, four Kittiwakes and eight Shags.
