Hi Pete.

Trevose Head is just outside Newquay. It's a really great place for migrants, but because it is on the North Coast it doesn't receive much attention from visiting birders. I can highly recommend a visit there's a great chance of finding something good.

You'll probably see only one other birder - his name is Stan. Say hi to him.
