It was evident as soon as we got into the field that there were lots of thrushes in overnight with numerous blackbirds in the first few fields we crossed. Good numbers of starlings (540) and redwings (55) were recorded going over as we dropped into Nanquidno. By the time we we'd finished the valley the passage had stopped.
The valley was pretty quiet but Rachael did find a yellow browed warbler bathing in the stream and there was a 2nd bird by the old mill at the bottom of the valley. Surprise record of the day was a flock of 10 crossbills over calling.
We walked along the coast path to Carn Gloose but the weather had turned much colder and cloudier so there so with no sign of the vagrant hawkers we dropped into Cot Valley. 2 yellow browed warblers were in a garden on the north side of the valley and were probablg different to the ones seen in the bottom.
After searching lots of ivy we finally caught up with some ivy bees near St Just
