A bird showing characteristics of Iberian Wagtail has been found today at Marazion Marsh, Cornwall. Photos have been taken and the very raspy call heard but not yet sound recorded.

Surprisingly there are just four U.K. records of Iberian Wagtail but none accepted for Cornwall.

Another octopus from the great Lego spill of 1997 has just turned up! It was found today by 13-year-old Liutauras on the shores of the ancient Cornish market town of Marazion and is one of 4,200 Lego octopuses lost to the sea 27 years ago. Many thanks to Vytautas Cemolonskas for

Some very nice summer visitors finally arriving today.

Male Whinchat at the stunning Windmill Farm reserve, Lizard and a Garganey and Yellow Wagtail at Marazion. Also saw first Hobby of the year and several Swifts.

Just found a male Surf Scoter off Marazion beach. Looks like a first summer or non breeder. Not fully bright coloured bill and nape patch looks weak. This could be the same bird that was seen off Killigerran Cornwall a couple weeks ago. Still present by 7:45 am.

The neck of it…

This morning’s Great White Egret at Marazion Marsh, Cornwall.

The last bird reported here was 21st April, so I’m assuming this is a new one in. The blackish bill colour and narrow green around the rear of the eye look very similar to the recent Walmsley bird.

Wow. Two days after 13-year-old Liutauras found a Lego octopus from the Great Lego Spill of 1997 on the shores of the ancient Cornish market town of Marazion, Justin Goode found another, this time 10 miles further round the coast at Porthleven. Like double decker buses, none for

A bit unexpected, but this White-fronted Goose flew in off the sea and settled briefly on Marazion Marsh this evening. This looks like the albifrons European race (orange legs, pink bill).

It’s the first Cornwall white-front for the year for me. (All grey geese are rare in

Some good photos confirm age as a first summer male. The Marazion bird shows brownish wings against a black mantle, white blotches on the belly, small white nape and lack of white forehead. All these features match the illustrations in Reeber.

Still present today (2nd day).
