Other North Coast sightings today

While waiting for prey hand-over and mating activities from the local Kestrel up on the north coast this morning  I spent my in-between time recording other passing local bird life.

These included pairs of White throats and Wren, several early morning Curlew,  A female Peregrine and a Buzzard that both passed by several times and four Cornish Chough two of which landed quite close.

With the above subjects and both mating and prey exchange shots of the local Kestrel in the can !       I finally dragged myself away from some very pleasant encounters

North Cornish Coast Today

The good weather promised for Cornwall for the bank holiday arrived earlier than expected this morning so I headed off for a coastal walk between Porth Nanven and the Crown Mines at Botallack.

Subjects worked on at Nanven included a pair of Kestrel,  Cornish Chough,  Whimbrel and a Rock Pipit predating on kelp flies

Botallack produced mating Kestrel and a montage image of a failed female Kestrel attack withdraw,

A first for me this year came by way of this delightful ever singing Whitethroat that was covering quite a large territory presumably still looking for a mate.

A lovely day out with a hint of what summer might bring for us this year !!
