Cudden Point in B&W

Walked down to our local Cudden Point pm yesterday but the skies clouded over making it all look rather sombre so with the lack of colour I decided to go for a few B&W shots posted below.

A very relaxed local fisherman with his mind set on a large Bass passed by without so much as a turn of the head.

A Kestrel stopped to hover in the light breeze and a young Grey Seal surfaced to take some air

Four Cormorants eventually reduced down to one as I passed along to the point.

I walked home through the local farmers fields which produced no more than a couple of young bunnies which didn't work well in B&W !

Cudden Point

A jet fighter Plane out on exercises from the nearby RNAS Coldrose is the only thing that disturbed the peace as it flashed by Cudden Point as I arrived yesterday morning.

A large mature male Grey Seal took little notice as it continued to patrol along the shoreline on three occasions exploring all the nooks and crannies on the lookout for female grey seals.

Several pairs of Rock Pipit were busy catching flies and insects among the colourful rocks and wild flowers 

 Cormorants Gulls and Oystercatchers also showed well on rocky outcrops and small islands

Cudden Point Sea Watch

It was a lovely warm and calm summer day here on the south coast of Cornwall yesterday and my wife and I decided to spend a leisurely day walking to Cudden Point with a flask and a packed lunch to do a little sea watching,

 Masses of butterfly were showing along our coastal route on our arrival we watched one of our local Kestrel hunting amid the heather while we were being checked our by a rather sombre looking young male Grey seal that was patrolling the rocky outcrops along the coast looking for relaxing females.

Next up were several Compass Jellyfish gracefully turning at the calm surface water as the tide slowly moved them on along the coast

 I think the comings and goings of the local Cormorants presented the best attraction,  Often squabbling over favoured rock island perch points, classic wing drying poses and perhaps best of all watching them surface dive for fish in the clear waters along the shoreline rocky gullies.

As we were leaving one of the fine Red Sail boats from Newlyn breezed through close to the point to end what had been a very pleasant and relaxed way to spend a happy day on just one of many Cornwalls classic headlands !!
