| Cornish Chough |

We had an early start to photograph birds and landscapes at Godrevy near Hayle this morning.
After watching the sunrise and illuminating the lighthouse we spotted a lone chough feeding on the clifftop. I note also that it hasn't been ringed.
I was delighted to get some shots of this the emblem of Cornwall!

Next came a couple of kestrels that were feeding on worms on the soft clifftop, they were most accommodating and allowed quite close shooting.

Finally after some poor shots of ravens I got a nice few of a skylark feeding on the vegetation inland from the cliff edge.

Great images love the Chough shots and the Kestrel photos are super you made great use of the light.
I agree with Anthony,i like the Cornish Chough,nice to see without rings.
Took some shots afew years ago they also had no rings.
John.
Brilliant. Please everyone nore the habitat, it looks like classic maritime heath. Wish RSPB would stop telling everyone that optimum habitat is farmed pasture. It isn't, it's the wild cliffscape! Farmed pasture is important but secondary
Good selection Adrian, sun and blue skies have provided some good light for you.
Superb images Adrian. The Chough's are excellent. Nice to see an unringed bird as well.
