Took a drive down to Helston this morning to try and get the Bufflehead on the year list, as this is a first for Cornwall and another one may not come along again. So after walking the mile+ to the hide on Loe Pool on the Penrose Estate I settled in and was soon rewarded with its appearance.
Though the light was not good and it did not come really close I did take a few shots(about 200+)and ended up with around 10 which were reasonable. So I have added two for the post tonight, I also had 2 Goldcrests, (sorry no pics) I then walked back to the boating lake at Helston and took some images of the more common species which I will include in the next post.

Good stuff Monty worth the effort, even though it is a bit of a trek to that hide. I think most people viewed it from the opposite side from Degibna area
ReplyDeleteI was able to add Buffleheads to my 2011 list with a visit to Maine in Dec.! They are a gorgeous little duck. Nice captures!
