WHEN THE WEST IS BEST.

A few more shots from the weekend, on Sunday morning we headed down to Treen Cliffs near Porthcurno for the Barred Warbler which had turned up there. The last one I saw was at Kenidjack
Valley in 2004. So we did get some good views though it was very mobile  and just managed to get one record shot, and that's the first one in this post.

The others are again of the Snow Bunting at Sandy Cove, and were taken in much better weather conditions on Sat Morning. So I felt I would like to share some more with you.

Also sorry I have not commented on your posts But I will get to them over the next couple of days, The reason being I have been trolling through over 500 images of this bird taken over Friday and Saturday. Believe me I just could not resist it.

  1. Hi Monty - I was glad to see that your Barred Warbler background was similar to my shot. The out of focus background looks like a mirror lens shot but I think it is the effect of the light and the varied background.

  4. Hands up! I've never even heard of a Barred Warbler!! How nice to live somewhere which gets (what I assume to be) such rarities.

    Lovely Snow Bunting shots too :)

  6. What a dear little bird the Bunting is with such pretty colors. A Barred Warbler is new to me.
