Whilst out on our walk along the cliffs of Mullion , I saw two Cornish Choughs fly up and over the Cornish Hedge . Camera at the ready ! I ran and crept up behind the hedge and was delighted to see that they had landed right on the footpath just on the other side !
So happy to have got so close up to them again !
We are seeing them almost everyday now . Seven is the most we,ve counted , but very often just this pair . They have rings on both legs .
I watched them for quite a long while , as they were pecking about in the grass .
Then they suddenly flew off angrily over the cliffs and sea , squawking and chasing a crow out of their territory .
You can click on my picture to enlarge them slightly .
We didn't walk so far today as it is so hot !
The storms that were forecast haven't happened here yet and it is feeling so uncomfortable . I would like some rain for my vegetable garden and to refill my water-butts and a little thunder and lightening to help clear the air and help banish my headache . . . . but it's made my day to see the Cornish Coughs again and so close up ! :)
