Hi Vince,
Would that not possibly be a second brood SPBF like regularly occurs a bit further west in Cornwall ?
Cheers,
Neil.

I was thinking that, too, Neil. The Cornwall BC site has reports of 10 SPBF seen at Kynance on 7th August.

This individual is clearly part of a second brood, which is not such an unusual event.
