Trewavas Head

My wife Heather and I took a mid afternoon walk from Rinsey Head along to Trewavas cliffs yesterday afternoon to take advantage of the wall to wall sunshine and light northeasterly winds We were looking out for the fine pair of Peregrine that rule the roost in this area but they were not to be seen on this occasion but a male Kestrel seemed to have taken over one of the west facing peregrine perch points set high on a lichen covered vertical rock face enjoying the shelter from the wind and late afternoon sunshine while preening and stretching its wings in a very relaxed manner.  

As we walked back towards Rinsey passing the rugged coastline around Trewavas mines a large pair of Raven looked very cosy as they cuddled up together in a prominent position on top of one of the mine stacks.

AS we arrived back close to Rinsey the setting sun was putting out some dramatic and colourful beams of light that filtered through a couple of dark clouds that seemed determined to snuff out this spectacle but the resilient sun kept finding gaps in the cloud to shine on to provide a very pleasant end to our walk as we sat and watched it plunging towards the horizion,  Time now to head off home for a G&T and a fillet steak to complete another lovely day in Cornwall.
