Mullion Cove this afternoon:- 1 Black Redstart (fem) on roof tops of houses in the valley. Also 4 Ravens, 1 Kestrel, 4 Stonechats, 2 Rock Pipits, 2 Meadow Pipits, 2 Goldfinches and 1 Goldcrest.
The valley reminded me of one of the West Cornwall valleys (it's not far away) and it would be first landfall for vagrants flying at in from further south. Lots of potenital!
Thanks. Henerz.

Hi Tav, I get up to Plymouth quite regularly - If I were to get off the train at Saltash could I walk to Kingsmill Lake from there or is that the wrong side for viewing ?

 

[Tav94]

HiChris yes you can head for the Chinafleet golf club its well signposted from saltash 10 mins walk.When at the golf club walk around the foot path to the hides the furthest hide is the best,if you PM i will send you the combination of the lock to the hides.
