Plenty of Summer migrants arriving including Swallows, Martins and Wheatears. Rock Pipits, Skylarks and Meadow Pipits were plentyfull and seen all along the coast path. The scrub and trees around the area was a great place to see Linnets, Chiffchaffs, Blackcaps etc. Out to sea it was great to watch the diving of Gannets and the fly past of Fulmars. We were very lucky as well when a female Peregrine landed quite close by on the cliffs. From Lizard Point to Kaynance Cove we were fortunate to watch Choughs many times.
The wildflowers are just beginning to grace the paths and sea cliffs with their presence. Thrift, Sea Campion, Bluebells and Squill adding to the colourful drama.
From Lizard point on the last morning of our visit as well as seeing a group of Choughs we watched a Grey Seal for some time between the rocks and also a small group of Porpoises feeding out to sea.
The Lizard - quite remarkably a walkers and wild life paradise .... We will be back!
Typical view
Sea Campion - seen everywhere along the cliffs
Fresh Water river leading down to the sea, alas no dippers
Squill - lovely little flower growing on the grassy cliff edges
Female Peregrine which shortly flew of with a male. Great to see them on the sea cliffs
One of the many Skylarks seen along the path. So good to hear their song
A Wren singing its heart out - such a loud song for a little bird!
