It was a good day for walking the south coast with cold but light northeasterly winds being tempered by plenty of sunshine. I had not just one but two pods of Bottlenose dolphins pass by heading east towards Porthleven just one hundred yards from the shore with eight and six animals respectively in the pods, Later in the day the two pods had joined up and passed again heading west towards Perranouthnoe
My next encounter was a pair of Chough where the male was regularly feeding the female and later I watched their behaviour as they fussed and preened each other showing a very good bond, Lets hope they produce another fine clutch of fledglings again this year,
At the bottom of the cliffs a pair of Heron Gulls were mating amid the low tide cord weed which produced an good contrast to their bright plumage
This lovely male Linnet was in fine tune and singing its heart out among the flowering Gorse bushes
This female Kestrel is not one that I am used to working with but as I took a few shots it swooped into a granite outcrop in an awkward position and had to work hard to correct its flight path on leaving but it came away with yet another common lizard prey in its beak
