Lesser Kestrel video by Peter Walsh

32 second video of the adult male Lesser Kestrel at Croft Pascoe, Lizard, in early May. This was just the second record for Cornwall. The first was way back in 1968.

What a stunning find by John Foster. Cornwall’s 2nd Lesser Kestrel found at Croft Pascoe Downs, Lizard (1st May 2026).

The first was way back in May 1968 so this adult male has been long overdue.

@RyanBrett3 Well done Ryan.

[Steve Rogers @RunnelStone]

@reuben_veal1 More records from the Lizard as well.

Montage pics of some raptors seen this Spring in Cornwall. The Red-foot’s appear to have moved on now. They certainly provided some great entertainment and stunning views. Fave has to be the sec cal female at Predannack.

(Goshawk was in Somerset).

@willsullivan_10 Welcome to Mousehole AFC, Will.

[Steve Rogers @RunnelStone]

Good luck in your “retirement “ Ben. Here’s a flashback to the week you were signed for Truro City. I remember sitting at the bar doing the interview. Maybe see you at @Mouseholeafc one day.

[Ben Gerring @BenGerring]

It’s that time 💔

A back injury I cannot repair and after some deep thought I’m ready to let go ⚽️

Thank you 🫶🏻

[Steve Rogers @RunnelStone]

@reuben_veal1 Excellent analysis Reuben. A four year gap since the last bird puts me firmly in the “new bird” camp. Pretty sure BB would also treat as the same. A great find.

[Steve Rogers @RunnelStone]

Definitely Perry.

[Perry Smale @SmalePerry]

@RunnelStone @BobBosisto @Kernowringer @CBWPS1 @JohnGale8 @reuben_veal1 The 1st record presumably the '99 bird?😉

[Steve Rogers @RunnelStone]

The 1w Booted Eagle performed well in front of a few us this morning from the A394 roadbridge (over the railway line) at Marazion this morning. Even perching in front of us.

It’s Cornwall’s third record and the same as the bird seen back in Oct 10th and 11th at St Just.

[Steve Rogers @RunnelStone]

Well done John. Glad you connected.

[John Gale @JohnGale8]

Fun morning out with James looking for the Booted Eagle north of Marazion in Cornwall....fabuolus views! Good to catch up with @RunnelStone

[Steve Rogers @RunnelStone]

Great pic Bob. Today’s Booted Eagle sighting at Marazion is considered the same bird as found by M Scott-Ham in Oct 24 at St Just and following day at Kenidjack.
Today’s bird on left and St Just bird on right. Four months apart but little difference in detail. Comments welcome.

[Bob Bosisto @BobBosisto]

Back of camera shot of the Booted Eagle at Marazion . Very lucky that it stayed long enough for me to finish working and drive down !

@HelstonAFC @Cornishfootball @NonLeagueCrowd @swsportsnews @SouthernLeague1 @CornwallSport @ThePacket Referee’s call I’m afraid.

[Steve Rogers @RunnelStone]

[Steve Rogers @RunnelStone]

@glennh534 @BobBosisto Sensational find. Well done.

[Steve Rogers @RunnelStone]
