GLOSSY IBIS AT BREW



Took a trip down to Sennen near Land's End this morning to track down the seven Glossy Ibis that have been in the area for a few days.
I picked a friend Brian up at 07.30 am and arrived in the area just after 08.00, after a bit of searching we located them in a field just South East of Brew Pool but there were only three of them.After walking across the field which was very waterlogged managed to get close enough for a few pics, although they were rather flighty.
We then drove on to Land's End and took the cycle track towards Sennen where we met my pal Mark who was a bit later getting out this morning. There were plenty of Meadow Pipits and Robins around but nothing in the way of scarce migrants.So below are a couple of images of the  Glossy Ibis, so the morning was not a complete loss and the weather was very good.
