NEWLYN HARBOUR AND STITHIANS RESERVOIR.

JUST LIKE EVERYWHERE ELSE, THE WEATHER HAS BEEN

DREADFUL BUT THANKFULLY, VERY  LITTLE FLOODING 

COMPARED TO SOME PARTS OF THE COUNTRY.

I DID GET TO NEWLYN HARBOUR, ALWAYS LOTS OF GULL 

ACTION AND ALSO A MORNING AT STITHIANS RESERVOIR.

ALL OVER THE PLACE!

 I'VE BEEN ALL OVER THE PLACE IN THE LAST COUPLE OF WEEKS.

THE FIRST SHOTS WERE FROM THE ST.ERTH AND PENZANCE AREA.

AFTER THAT I WAS BACK AT THE ORCHARD WHERE THERE WERE A FEW BRAMBLING, 
NOT SOMETHING WE SEE A LOT OF AROUND TRURO. 

THE LAST THREE SHOTS WERE AT FEOCK CHURCH. I WAS PARTICULARLY 

PLEASED TO SEE THE HAWFINCH AS WE HAVE ONLY EVER SEEN THEM ABROAD.

HAYLE ESTUARY & SWANPOOL.

Well, I never did catch up with the Franklin's Gull that's been hanging

 around but I did see this Cattle Egret on Hayle Estuary instead of 

in a field of Cattle so that was an unexpected bonus.

The Nuthatches were taken at Lelant Saltings.
