4th-8th September
4th September 2026 —————— Mawnan Smith - 1 juvenile Wheatear , 3 Linnet, 2 Swallow overhead, and 1 Buzzard were the pick of a brief amount of time spent in the village. 7th September 2026 —————— Mawnan Smith - a minimum count of 110 Herring Gulls (probably closer to 300) flew over the village in a northerly direction to roost in the evening. 5 House Martins over were the only migrants noted, in addition to at least 10 Rooks and 1 Buzzard. Of non-bird excitement was a small Common Toad found in the garden. 8th September 2026 —————— Mawnan Smith - 5 Lesser Black-backed Gulls west in the evening were a first for my recording area, joined by 5 Jackdaw, 4+ Blue Tit, 5 House Martin, 1 Linnet, and 1 Hummingbird Hawkmoth nectaring on the buddleia.
