Cape Cornwall 29th August

There was a weasel in our garden this morning, the first I have ever seen alive (our cats regularly bring in dead ones!). It allowed superb views for about two minutes as it scurried across the lawn, before disappearing into the thick undergrowth. Following breakfast, I had a brief seawatch from Cape Cornwall. Unfortunately I failed to see the same remarkable seabirds recorded from the nearby Porthgwarra, but did see a basking shark, as well as high numbers of gannets, kittiwakes, fulmars and shags. Otherwise, a single grey heron passed, as did an unidentifiable small flock of waders, possibly dunlin.
