A good friend decided to do a sponsored walk for a feline re-homing centre (http://www.lonelypawz.org.uk : website currently not working btw). So, we joined him for a 3 mile trek around the old mining site(s) of Lanner. For birding enthusiasts there was not much present. I watched some baby Great Tits begging for food; they had fledged and were stumbling around the nesting area… there were plenty of Goldfinches knocking around and I could still hear a bleedin’ Cuckoo in the distance… For Cuckoo fanciers, there was a reported 15 at Stithians; so says Dave (was it Dave?) from Orca Sea Faris (their website aint working either!).
Anyhoo… the walk disappointed as birding goes. A Song Thrush appeared momentarily, but nothing else was doing.
As for the Bugs, the only semi-highlight was a Large Skipper (first of the season).
