We have just returned from a 10 day break in North Cornwall which was basically a non birding holiday. Usually we do have a couple of visits to the hotspots of Porthgwarra or Hayle but the weather conditions were certainly not conducive for any serious birding...with predominantly high winds and wet weather.
I was disappointed to miss the Wrynecks at Church Norton and even more so, the confiding Red Backed Shrike!
So today I was delighted to see the report that the RBS was still showing well!
An early afternoon visit was rewarded!!!!
Apart from a few Choughs and a splendid Kestrel, photography was a bit thin on the ground in Cornwall.
The Choughs were becoming much less unusual in the area we often frequent at this time of year in Porthcothan, near Padstow...a good sign that they are becoming more established.
Kestrel, Park Head, North Cornwall.
Rock Pipits were numerous on the beach and the rocks!
Pied Wagtail on the beach at Porthcothan, North Cornwall.
So now its back to Pagham where birding rarely disappoints!
