Wild Cornwall- north and south encounters

Despite friday night being rather heavy I managed to get to the lizard for midday saturday, I was continuing with my project with the Cornish Choughs; one of the rarest birds in the country. We had a great afternoon and spotted 6 feeding at the same time, unfortunaely the light was poor so no great shots, nonetheless still good for records.
Today I went to the north coast, again poor light but still had some great wildlife encounters, very playful seals, snow buntings and a pod of 8-10 Dolphins were among the highlights. It's weekend like these which make me feel privileged to live in Cornwall



The Cornish Chough is known for its unusual flying technique
