The far west of Cornwall has a justly famous reputation for its birdwatching.
Place names like Porthgwarra, Cot Valley, Nanquidno and Kenidjack send a shudder through the devoted rarity follower !
The aim of this significant part of the sennen-cove website is to bring you the latest news and information concerning local birdwatching ~ our area site guide is a fascinating `quick look` at many of the local hotspots, while local records are held in text files available to everyone.
Our local reports are updated several times daily - and reports to us will be gratefully received, as will constructive comments towards improving the site !
DEAD PUFFINS
Sadly, quite a number of dead and moribund Puffins have been reported washed up locally.
This is the procedure if you find one - please. (thanks Di)
What to do: Do not touch or handle dead birds, as they may carry bird flu. Reporting: Report dead puffins to the Cornwall Wildlife Trust Marine Strandings Network on 0345 201 2626. Live/Injured Birds: If a bird is alive but exhausted, contact the RSPCA West Hatch Wildlife Centre on 0300 123 0721. Safety: Keep dogs and children away from carcasses.
