Seawatching at Lizard Point 7 March
The Cornwall Bird Watching and Preservation Society have organised an introduction to seawatching on Saturday 7 March. There is a chance to see a range of sea birds and other wildlife (weather-dependent, of course). Full details here.
The Wryneck, a relative of the woodpeckers, is one of the rarer visitors to the Lizard in the autumn migrant season.
Yellow Wagtails are summer visitors to eastern and northern parts of Britain. They can be spotted in the southwest on migration as they return to their winter home in Africa.
