These were particularly conspicuous this time. Other highlights of a week in West Penwith were Peregrines, Med Gulls, Black Redstarts and my first Radde's Warbler.

Glossy Ibis
Tempted to say about time but that might sound churlish. A good number of these rather splendid birds have made their way to the UK from their breeding areas in Southern Spain this autumn, including a few in southern Cambs. Leon found this one at Maxey GP on Thursday but it seems to only visit between about 3 and 5pm before flying off south. Where it goes at other times is a mystery for now.
Species number 235 for me in the PBC area. The only other record was of one shot in the Whittlesey Mere area in 1825!

Magnificent Pie
Always think this is one of those species that birders would rave about if it were rare enough. This one was finding such good feeding among the cow pats in the dry fields next to Bedford Purlieus that it approached very closely.
