DOWN WEST.

Have not done much this week as I have been working but I did spend a day down west around Bottalack, where most of these were taken, except for the Dipper and Woodpecker which were taken in Truro.  These Fulmars were right next to the footpath.

A wet and windy Porthgwarra

Spent four hours walking around Porthgwarra and saw very little. Everything seemed to be sheltering from the rain. The only thing we saw a lot of were Painted Lady Butterflies but because of the rain they mostly kept their wings closed.
