We went to Chysauster ancient village.
Me & Dad found our first Vagrant Emperor Dragonfly perched on a bracken leaf.
The Wryneck was still present & mobile around the site of the old houses.
The bird was present in the area until 4th October 2025.
Also saw a pair of Wall Brown Butterflies.
On Battery Rocks by the Jubilee Pool in Penzance were Sanderlings, Ringed Plovers, Turnstones & Dunlin. No Purple Sandpipers yet.
We finished the day at Sennen Cove, watching Choughs & Mediterranean Gulls.
