I’ve wanted to see a Hoopoe since I learned of their existence. I mean, why wouldn’t you, the name, just perfect. And just look at it. Beautiful. Well today I saw one, thanks to Nigel Wheatley and of course raoul Humphreys

Six beautiful whinchat on Woon Gumpus yesterday evening. I’ve been waiting for them to edged on in their migration by the easterlies

Watch this clip to the end to see a treat! Hoopoe at Hendra found by Nigel Wheatley

Sometimes you just get lucky - American golden plover and Dotterel among a flock of 42 golden plover and 5 ruff. Men-an-tol today

We visited Mên-an-Tol, Boskednan and the Mên Scryfa, and then raoul Humphreys spotted an American Golden Plover & a Dotterel amongst a flock of Golden Plover and therefore I think he is quite happy that’s where I wanted to go this morning.

Re found the American Golden Plover next to Lands End Airport. Really pleased it stayed on the deck long enough for plenty of people to get a great view!

Beautiful upland sandpiper at Sennen- great that a good number of people were able to share the experience! Nigel Wheatley must be the bird you heard a few weeks back?

Dancing the wind - the windhover - elegant and mesmerising

Great view of an adult ring-billed gull from Lelant Saltings this afternoon Cornwall Birds

Hi for prints you can dm me or London House Studio. We have a range of Martin’s prints including a new limited edition of last years Blackburnian on Scilly.

Ring-billed gull showing well at Lelant today - nice comparison shot with common gull

He also reminds us of the infinite joy in the everyday more common birds and how if we are not careful we overlook so much

It’s been rather dull weather recently, but I have just moved this painting by our own ⁦⁦⁦raoul Humphreys⁩ so I can see it from my desk to remind me that spring is arriving, and soon the Wheatear will be back in Kenidjack. #Cornwall

To all my friends and colleagues in Cornwall can you believe that our local MP thinks he is representing our views or just the minority who think they own our land and aren’t its custodians.

Off to a great start! Fledgling Raven and Wheatear on one of my monitoring sites on the West Cornwall coast- the wheatear is my earliest ever.

A rewarding morning on the patch this morning- unusual pose by this grasshopper warbler! At least four breeding pairs this year

Semipalmated sandpiper at Hayle yesterday- great show of the webs at the end
