Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

I saw a couple of choughs at Gwithian and I think I've heard their call since then but not lately. Lovely birds.

Yes, Bempton is fabulous - was there around this time last year.

DT, Alpine choughs aren't the same as the Welsh/Cornish choughs (as I'm sure you're aware). As a skier I'm very familiar with them, as they hang around outside mountain restaurants and are often very bold.

@um lovely pics! I lived in Cornwall for 2 years and never saw any- choughs were threatened with extinction back then IIRC

Bringing you a meadow full of stork - I bumped into them by accident on my bike ride. I love how they’re becoming a regular feature here. Does anybody know when stork take on their adult plumage? It seems early for the youngsters from this year to look like that already, doesn’t it?

A friend's Dad went on a bird watching trip and lots of people were getting excited by a heron and he was 'where?'

'By the pond' was the answer
he responded: 'you mean the plastic one?'....

back in Berkshire now, my boy was playing cricket today vs Cornwall, lots of driving over 2 days!

Choughs were on the North Cliffs close to Tehidy North Cliffs car park.

Last time I went to Paradise Park in Hayle, choughs were part of their free-flying display. Always a good show, along with Archie the bald eagle who sometimes flies out over the estuary -- no doubt alarming the local wading birds down below.
