SO CHOUGH ED!

Written by david kemp. Posted in The Blog

Seven Choughs landed on my roof last week,

Swooping & choughing up from the Zawn.

Pyrrhocorrax, phyrrhocorax

FIRE RAVENS,The National bird of Cornwall,until recently, extinct in the county.

A pair have nested successfully in a nearbyl sea cave for the last two years,

The first Choughs born in West Penwith for 150years,are pecking around in my yard!
