We started the day at Pendeen Lighthouse, where a Meadow Pipit was perched on the wire above the carpark.

At Botallack were 2 Wall Brown Butterflies, Painted Lady Butterfly, 2 Red-billed Choughs & 2 Stonechats.

The Isabelline Wheatear was still present early afternoon at Land's End Airport, but showed distantly perched on the signs through the heat haze.

At St Gothian Sands LNR, Gwithian, both Phalaropes showed very well on the main pool.

The 1st Winter Grey Phalarope was present from 22nd-30th September 2025.

It was joined by a Juvenile Red-necked Phalarope from 27th September 2025, which is even rarer in Cornwall. However, it was not probably identified until the following the day.

At Hayle, we saw a Curlew on Ryan's Field RSPB.

While on the estuary, the Juvenile Pectoral Sandpiper continued to forage below the B3301 causeway & briefly chased a couple of Curlew Sandpipers.

It remained in the area until dusk.

Also on the estuary was a Mediterranean Gull.

The Isabelline Wheatear was still showing distantly at Land's End Airport in the early evening light.

It remained on site until 29th September 2025.
