The High Wire Flyer

Our Sunday stared wet and grey but dried up before noon so My wife heather and I went for a walk from the hamlet of Rinsey to Trewavas Head to try our luck with the local Peregrine,  As we started down the footpath we spotted a feisty male Kestrel that was being harassed by a few Crow that were a bit "all bark and no bite" but the kestrel was having none of it and defended his post well

On arrival at Trewavas we were disappointed not to see the Peregrine hanging out at one of their favoured perch points on the cliffs,  We settled in for a couple of hours but apart from a great Northern Diver a fair way off shore and the usual mix of Cormorants and Gulls on the shoreline there was very little action.

The very grey day turned into Cornish Missal and set us heading back towards home and we met the Kestrel again on route,  This time he was up on some high wire power cables that ran parallel with the footpath and each time we got a little to close for comfort he moved on along the wires on four occasions but eventually tired of us following and peeled off down over the cliffs,

We have spent many hours and days watching the local kestrel behaviour since moving to Cornwall  but a fine Sunday Roast and a bottle of wine were waiting so we hurried off  to enjoy the rest of our day.at home.
