I'd heard on Facebook that there had been some Choughs around the Newquay area... they are gradually spreading up the North coast having initially bred down on the Lizard.
So I popped out to east Pentire headland between Fistral beach & the Gannel at Crantock and lo and behold there were 6 Choughs feeding on the short cropped grasses on the clifftop.
They were concentrating on feeding & oblivious to all around them. Peoples dogs bounding around & holidaymakers taking pics of the view & selfies with the waves in the background etc.
Always exciting for a Cornishman to see our "National" bird, but to see 6 together... Wow!
Anyway here are a few photos....

Great images Adrian. So pleased to see your photos show them feeding in their optimum habitat - the natural cliffscape - not farmland, as we're often told is what they primarily need. I will keep banging on about this until certain people listen!!
