Friday...

.
We had a wander around the lanes last night and got back home late; Rescassa, Heligan, Caerhays, Tregony, Portloe, Carne Beach. Saw quite a few Pheasant, 2 Partridge around by Caerhays Castle, which I suspect will end up on someone’s dinner plate come the shooting season in September (and I was too slow too get a shot!). I’m pretty sure I saw a Garden Warbler, but as I got out of the car with the camera it disappeared into the hedgerow, and we couldn’t hang around as it was a narrow lane, so that won’t be ticked on my life list just yet. Saw at least three Yellowhammer. You don’t see one at all and then they are everywhere! Rounded off the evening nicely with a Barn Owl, which flew over and swooped up into trees as we were driving home at dusk.
A good night and as I got into bed I noticed a large moth fluttering towards my bedside lamp - A Swallowtail I believe. I put it out the window once I’d got a shot of it!
