Waders and Wildfowl at Hayle – Bespoke Tour

A mornings bespoke tour was requested by our clients Elly and Martin, last Thursday and to see as many birds as we could well, without going ‘twitching’! The Gwithian area followed by high tide at the Hayle Estaury was the obvious itinerary. St Gothian Sands NR at Gwithian rarely disappoints and there is always something […]

More Choughs and a few Waders Please!

Brad led a bespoke tour for our most regular clients Tim and Anna at the end of September with a request to see Choughs and some waders. Obviously we needed to visit two different habitats for that! So back to trusty Nanquidno and the Hayle estuary to oblige. Hayle and in particular Ryan’s Field was […]

Avalon Marshes Tour – 19th May 2019

Our Avalon Marshes tour is always one I look forward to. The reserves of RSPB Ham Wall and the neighbouring Shapwick Heath never fail to produce spectacular birdlife. The Somerset reserves are easily the best reed bed habitat in the south west! So, our group of six, guided by Brad and I, arrived after a […]

Guiding on The Lizard

Todays clients, Claire and her husband from Colorado USA, requested a visit to The Lizard, having never been there before and in the hope of seeing Choughs and Grey Seals. They weren’t disappointed on either count! We headed straight to Lizard Point early to avoid the crowds where we were soon watching two female Grey […]

Bespoke Tour in West Cornwall

After a few days of awful wind and rain in the County we were greeted with warm sunny conditions today for our bespoke tour with Lesley. Having been with us on a previous tour I knew Lesley was a keen photographer, so photo opportunities were a must. We decided on Marazion Marsh for our first […]

Family Birdguiding

We had a fantastic day of two halves today with the Larkin family on the north coast during the morning, then a quick drive over to Kynance on the Lizard to meet the Cowing family. We met Andrew with his wife and two boys at North Cliffs for a few hours birdwatching along the coastal […]

Back to School

We don’t just offer birdguiding trips and experiences for adults at Cornwall Birdwatching Tours! Paul spent the morning at Marazion Marsh RSPB reserve with the children and teachers of Wendron School. Despite the wind and rain a great time was had by all! Glossy Ibis was the star attraction as far as birds were concerned […]

Hayle and Mounts Bay – 1st December 2017

A bright but windy morning greeted my client, Lamorna and I at Newlyn today. We headed straight to Sandy Cove, Newlyn but parking was restricted so we changed plans and drove east to Marazion calling briefly at Jubilee Pool in Penzance where Purple Sandpipers and Turnstones were located on the rocks. A stunning Kingfisher joined […]

Mounts Bay and Drift – 12th November 2017

I appear to have abandoned this blog since 2014/15!! Not good, but a loss of password is to blame! However in order to redeem myself I will try and update the blog with all the tours I have done in the past few years. So here’s the most recent, no photos today unfortunately! Sunday was […]
