Tintagel and Mawgan Porth

We spent a couple of hours visiting “King Arther’s” castle at Tintagel. The surrounding cliff faces held a small colony of nesting Fulmars (about twenty birds in total) and a pair of Rock Pipits and Ravens. On the sea, a single Gannet was seen as well as about thirty Guillemots. The beginning of the Painted Lady invasion was also seen with hundreds of butterflies here. 

  

Many were also seen whilst  surfing at nearby Mawgan Porth. Many more were seen over the following few days.
