Helped Dan out in his fields before deciding to walk back home via Argal and College Res. Heard 3 Garden Warblers singing in the imediate area. I'd only just left when I started walking down the public footpath through a cow field. On seeing me some of the cows got in a right frenzy and started charging towards me flailing their heads, kicking and running towards me! It's safe to say I was a little intimidated but with not enough time to sprint to the closest gate I had no option but to dive into the Cornish hedgrow next to me!! :eek!: My brain told me it was safer not to go back in the field so I scrambled through the massive mixture of brambles, blackthorn, gorse and even a barbed wire fence only to stumble back into Dan's field (appologies for tresspassing 8-P). The experience was nothing short of hilarious!! :-O:-O (see picture)
Anyway, back to the birds:
Argal Res:
50+ Swallows, half a dozen House Martins, 5+GCGrebes (one sitting on a nest perhaps brooding eggs), Willow Warbler, Chiffys, 2 Mute Swans and 7+Mallard. Also accidentally flushed a Fox from the side of the path.
College Res:
Herring Gulls (c.31 adults, 2 2nd summers, 3 1st summers), 1 2nd summer LBBG, 2 ad. GBBGulls, Swallows, 3+ Grey Herons, 1 GCGrebe sitting in a nest, 1 Willow Warbler, singing Chiffys and wet socks. :-C
Penryn River, Gorrangorras:
almost nothing, only 4 Linnets and 4 Mute Swans.
