Oh there goes that theory ๐Ÿ˜‚

Canโ€™t remember going to Tehidy without Tufties in winter!

Interesting isnโ€™t it. Assume thereโ€™s the normal numbers of Tufties there Steve? And from that assume that to be a key driver - no major flock at Stithians, Loe Pool etc. In Penwith only St Goths, Tehidy and HBL with Tuftiesโ€ฆ

Quality Paul! Great Little Auk count and late for quite a few bits there, Black Tern notably so. North coast Eider a good record too

Any Whoopers on St Tredwell loch? Had 20 odd Swan from the plane, guessing thatโ€™s more than you usually have for Mutes?

Hi Steve, are you aware of any pics of the Yank Wigeon about? Had a grey-headed thing at Peedie so was interested
