ST GOTHIAN SANDS AND TEHIDY COUNTRY PARK

Just to keep the old blog ticking over during these dull winter days, I caught a couple of breaks in the weather over the last few days, and managed to get out for a few hours,

On Saturday I walked around St Gothian Sands Reserve, although there were plenty of Ducks on the main pool, including the Female Scaup they were to distant for photo's. Also driving back along the cliff road there was very little bird activity because of the strong winds.

Beat seen were Fulmers at Hells Mouth, and skylarks and Pheasant along the North Cliffs.
On Monday the winds had still not abated so took a walk around the lake at Tehidy Woods which was very nicely sheltered.
Best here were a very obliging Jay, and Three Shoveler also good numbers of Tufted Duck on the
lake.

So below are a selection of species seen.

GREY SQUIRREL.

    Hi Monty. The weather here is also damp and very grey so sightings are also a bit thin on the ground.
    Delighted to see you also caught up with the Bewick's recently ... I saw 18 yesterday.

    That Jay image is extremely sharp and Tufted Ducks rarely let you down.
