Fourteen strong flock of Cornish Chough



While waiting for Kestrel prey hand-overs pm yesterday Peter Tonkin and I had a surprise and very welcome fly-bye from fourteen Cornish Chough which appeared to be a union of three families

They split into family groups to forage the coastal rough grass fields with the un-rung orange billed juveniles still begging from the red billed and rung adults,

This particular family all tried to land on the same small granite pier which created a bit of a challenge for the noisy bunch and a very nice prop for photography.









The whole group eventually headed off back in the direction that they had come from proclaiming a success story for Cornish Chough and all those local people that helped with their recovery
