The first-winter male SCARLET TANAGER was only seen once today at St Levan (West Cornwall). Adrian Kettle, Colin Mackenzie-grieve and Graham Ekins relocated it at about 0945 hours in tall Elms in the gardens of the cottages at the bottom of the valley starting opposite the church car park. It afforded good, clear views for about 5 minutes (allowing a number of photographs to be taken) before flying back towards the main Grey Gables garden. Just 25 birders managed to get on to it at this time. Despite subsequent searching for the rest of the day, the bird was NOT seen again before dark.
The church car park can house about 20 vehicles at a squeeze whilst overflow parking is available in nearby Porthcurno or at Porthgwarra. Please donate £2 towards the church fund.
RED-BREASTED FLYCATCHERS remain at both Kenidjack Valley and Porthgwarra
