Here are some of the photos taken around the set of the mine they used (wheel owl's) located near Botallack which was the location of a mining disaster ......

Lesser Yellowlegs

Yesterday Just as was just about to walk out the door to go back

to work my phone kicked into life of reports of a lesser yellowlegs at marazion,

With no time i to get there i went back to work, so this morning at work when the reports started to

come in that it was still there i was more than happy.

Getting to marazion at about mid-day i spent the first 20 Min's trying to locate the bird .

After a little while the bird appeared from the cover of the reeds and started feeding

on the near side of the bank.

Help

After finishing up at Marazion walking back to my

bike something caught my eye in the distance, with the bird being so far

on the other side of the marsh i got my camera and started shooting

at what i thought was a buzzard. After getting home i uploaded the days photos on the

computer and noticed that what  thought was a buzzard had a very light coloured head

, looking at cornwall birding i found that a marsh harrier was reported ,

I think its the marsh harrier but ant help on the id would be very helpful.....

(the photos are very cropped an out of focus)

Marazion

Now we got some nice weather at last and my bike is back on the road

after spending a couple of weeks in a garage getting repaired after a

little bump , i Finally managed to get down to marazion for a couple of hours.

As i arrived i was greeted with the sight of traffic lights and road works stretching

the length of the sea front ,

With the sun warming my back and the sound on the road works slowly

disappearing in the back ground i spent a relaxing enjoyable afternoon taking a

few snaps.

After capturing a few shots i noticed the herons were very active flying

around the marsh hunting and feeding on the fish that was swimming

in an out of the reeds on the shallows.

More From Marazion
