Birds in Cornwall: October 2012
http://birdscornwall.blogspot.com/2012_10_01_archive.html
A video blog of the natural history of Cornwall. Sunday, 21 October 2012. This well hidden Long-eared Owl was found this morning by Brian Mellow, a well known cornish birder, when it flew out of cover at Land's End. It was later re-found by Brian Field sitting in a small Willow bush almost invisible to the naked eye. It probably doesn't think it can be seen, but is keeping a close eye on the gathered birders. Red-breasted Flycatcher. Kenidjack. 20/10/2012. Friday, 19 October 2012. Sunday, 14 October 2012.

I discovered a Red Admiral caterpillar just starting to make it's protective tent by fastening two Nettle leaves together with silk. It's not often you actually see this process as it happens, so i decided to film the event. The speed of the film has been increased x4. The caterpillar took just ten minutes to complete the structure.Incredible! 4 July 2013 at 07:17. Windmill Farm Na...

This female Montagu's Harrier was found at Croft Pascoe on The Lizard. These elegant raptors no longer breed in Cornwall and are only seen in the county during Spring and Autumn migration as they pass through heading to and from their breeding grounds in Eastern Britain. I filmed her battling against the wind as she hunted over the heathland. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Birds in Cornwall: August 2012
http://birdscornwall.blogspot.com/2012_08_01_archive.html
A video blog of the natural history of Cornwall. Sunday, 19 August 2012. Alpine Swift. Newquay. 18/8/2012. I caught up with this Alpine Swift at 8am after it had gone to roost the previous evening. It was the first autumn individual I had encountered, all the others I have seen have occurred in early spring (March/April). Arial birds like these are notoriously difficult to film as they are fast and very agile, making them tricky to keep in frame. I just about managed with this one. Labels: black and white.
