Whimbrel making good progress as they hurtle south past Pendeen and West Penwith in August. 374 were counted on 9th Aug in three hours.
The sea off Pendeen Watch is a well used flyway for Whimbrel and flock sizes are impressive.

Gannet feeding frenzy with common dolphins and tuna off Pendeen Watch last week. Estimate c. 2000 in the wider flock. Quite a sight.

Two superb Sabine's Gulls at Pendeen today, an adult and juvenile, both passed through inside the rocks. Stunning views and such a thrill to watch.

Bit of excitement on the CEFAS Endeavour this morning when we saw this Fea's-type Petrel 17nm off the Cornish coast as we were heading towards Lundy to shelter for the next day or so.

Long-tailed Skua montage pics from Pendeen, 5th Oct. At least nine were seen from St. Ives and Pendeen over the 4th & 5th Oct (Storm Amy). It’s been a bumper year for the species with numbers way above the county rolling average. Good luck to the county recorder assessing them all!
