In the same area we saw a Grey-cheeked Thrush, which after a wait of about half an hour came out of the bushes onto the track and fed in the open for almost an hour. Then further along the trail at the bottom of Holy Vale we had brief, but clear views of a Blackpoll Warbler, which moved incredibly fast through the bushes and trees, it would fly, calling, into a line of trees, vanish and then be seen a 100 yards away.

Later, at Porthcressa beach we watched 2 Spotted Sandpipers feeding on the beach, our 4th new bird of the day. The birds kept mainly to the seaweed covered rock pools, rarely visiting the open sandy areas. Later in the afternoon we returned to Holy Vale seeing the Rose-breasted Grosbeak again, also a Pied Flycatcher, a Spotted Flycatcher and a Scilly Shrew.
