Cornwall

The following day – Friday 21st I packed my bag and headed off to Cornwall. A couple of days visiting family. Arriving Friday evening it was a quiet night in with a takeaway.

Saturday and having spent an hour or so on Praa Sands (T-shirt weather in October!) It was off to Hayle Estuary for a spot of bird spotting. Black Tailed Godwit, Bar Tailed Godwit, Oyster Catcher, Little Egret, Shelduck as well as Black Headed Gulls, Lesser Black Backed Gulls and a highlight for me a Whimbrel!

To be honest, I wished I'd stayed longer and got a bit closer to the birds as I'm sure I missed loads but I intend on going back in the not too distant future.
