White Bluebell13/4/10.
Today I walked to Carn Barges and there were Willow Warblers in the Willow carr also Chiff Chaff and Goldfinches.
More Bluebells in flower.
A f ew weeks ago spotted what I thought might be a Buzzards nest on the cliffs and this morning there were 2 birds at the site but early days yet they could still decide to go elsewhere.
Gannets over the sea and a Raven and a Sparrowhawk along the cliff path, a Pheasant calling.

A report of a possible Red Backed Shrike in the Lamorna area today, the person who saw it took some pictures, photos to follow ( hopefully)!. A pair of Goldcrests in the garden today.

St Marks flies on the wing, Im not sure about their correct name can never find them in a guide but this is their local name, the fishermen say the fishing is good when they are about.

Sparrows and Goldfinches in the garden this morning, Swallows over Chygurno and along the cliffs. Bluebells now numerous on the path to Carn Barges and on the cliffs also Spring Squill,
Foxgloves in bud, Bladder and Sea Campion flowering 1 white Bluebell and a lot of Thrift.
Three Cornered Leek everywhere, I know its a nuisance in the garden but I like it.
The Whitethroats have now returned and are busy on the cliffs,a male Blackcap singing, 1 Moorhen heard but not seen 1 Canada Goose.
On the way back through the woods Early Purple orchids (7) Garlic Mustard also known as Jack by the Hedge and Pendulous Sedge, the various species of ferns are now coming into leaf ,the new growth looking like Bishops Croziers .
Along the lane by home Shining Cranesbill and in the back garden Ladies Mantle also known as Cuckoo flower.

Hi Brian, i think St Marks Fly is Bibio marci Bibionidae and is so called because it emerges around April 25th ( st marks day)
