Glorious weather, fantastic food and some great birds too!! If its October, it must be our West Cornwall tour - this year run in conjunction with Bird Watching magazine from 13th - 19th October 2007. A very showy Radde's Warbler was the real highlight of the week, but we also enjoyed excellent views of Yellow-browed and Dartford Warblers, a Dutch ringed Eurasian Spoonbill, Eurasian Woodcock, two Firecrest, two Little Stints and both Pied and Spotted Flycatchers. We also saw two Mediterranean Gulls, Ring Ouzel, four Red-billed Chough, Pomarine, Arctic and a couple of Great Skuas, five Balearic Shearwaters, Peregrine, Merlin, five breeding plumaged Black-tailed Godwits, Red-throated Diver and large numbers of Eurasian Siskin amongst a total of 105 species.
Spaces are already filling up for 11th - 17th October 2008, so if you would like to join us for what is always an enjoyable tour based at the Mount Haven Hotel, please book as soon as possible to avoid disappointment.
As a footnote, we'd like to congratulate our partners at The Mount Haven Hotel for inclusion in the Sunday Times Top Twenty Hotels for service list recently; we can certainly vouch for them deserving this prestigous accolade as we have been staying there for the past ten years.
