I did my morning head count and we headed out, with Ashley for company, adding a few more to the day list on the journey. We visited Pendeen, Botallack, Nanquidno, Drift, Bakers Pit (which was quieter than usual, if that’s possible) and finished off at Hayle. We had intended to see Sennen and Marazion, but time was short! Although I have a good head count for the day, it was quiet. Nanquidno didn’t let us down though, with Butterflies, Insects, Whitethroat and Yellowhammer.
