Barafundle Choughs

A walk from Stackpole Quay to Barafundle Bay yesterday afternoon produced at least 4 Chough. A pair came to land on and drink from the cattle trough along the coast track, only metres away, before flying down to the cliff tops. On the beach at least 4 could be seen, and heard, on the northern cliff edge, feeding. A female Kestrel flew over. 

A pair of Ravens were giving superb close views near the arch to the steps down, and overhead at the beach. The Robins at Stackpole Quay are rudely tame. And 4 on one picnic table posturing at each other was a sight to behold. (Some uneasy truces going on here with so much free scran on offer!)
