I'm on holiday with the family so am allowing myself the luxury of posting loads of photos without attempting to compose a coherent narrative. Liberating. I should do it more often.

| I stumbled across this juvenile Glaucous Gull on a late evening visit to St Ives on Friday having left the camera behind. Fortunately it was still there yesterday. |
 |
| Initially hidden behind some rocks it was eventually tempted out by someone's thrown away chips |
 |
| With a Herring Gull for comparison |
 |
| We considered buying some more chips to bring it closer but this proved unnecessary |
 |
| Quite a brute! |
 |
| Showing some aggression |
 |
| Turnstone, St Ives |
 |
| I had to get young Rowan to herd these tame Turnstones into the right position |
 |
| Earlier in the day a Fulmar cruised the cliffs at Godrevy |
 |
| Male Linnet, Gothian Sands |
 |
| OK it's not a Crag Martin, bit still nice to see a Sand Martin |
 |
| Several were perched on the fence at Gothian Sands |
 |
| Rock Pipit, Gothian Sands |
 |
| This Dunlin was one of a small party in the surf at Marazion today |
 |
| A single Sanderling was also at Marazion |
 |
| Not just good birding in Cornwall. A fair bit of this going on too. |
