On the bird-front, gulls appear to be stealing the show this month with Iceland, Yellow-legged and a number of Med Gulls at Lelant Water and Carnsew Pool. The recent cold snap hasn't brought the anticipated influx of wildfowl and waders - yet.
Our hide at Ryan's Field continues to receive attacks from vandals and although we have painted over the graffiti shown on our recent photos - three times now - it appears this will be an ongoing activity until the police apprehend the culprits.
On Sunday, 12th February we are meeting at Copperhouse Creek in the town for our bi-monthly litter pick there. Perhaps as an enticement, we enjoyed the sight of a Crane over our heads on the last litter pick (at Carnsew) in January; we hope to see you there!
