Porthgwara and Lamorna Cove

Day one of a week’s break in a cottage in Mousehole, Cornwall, with the family. After a late night last night we all awoke late and went for a late morning walk at Porthgwara. A Richard’s Pipit was reported, but couldn’t be found, a female Merlin being the best bird for me.

We then went to Sennen Cove for a long Sunday lunch. A Rock Pipit and adult Mediterranean Gull were noted there.

Dropping the family off at Mousehole a couple of hours before dusk, I went to nearby Lamora Cove, a place where I’d never visited. A lovely setting but the drizzle turned into something of a downpour and I decided to retire to the pub in Mousehole instead.
