Day 2 : Gillan to Coverack


Wildlife Surprise
I haven't ever really walked much of this bit before so it was nice to explore somewhere new.
At Flushing Cove I followed a wren along the beach, saw a little eagret in the waters edge and then a squirrel running into a tree - all in the space of 2 minutes. After popping into the NCI watch point at Nare Point I came within metres of a Buzzard in the middle of the path. I'm not sure who was more surprised, me or the buzzard! At Lowland Point I added to my wildlife surprise by nearly treading on an adder, unfortunately I think it was probably dead : (
Thank you to the nice man in Porthallow who suggested I take the route up over the cliffs to Porthkerris & on to Porthoustock - it was lovely : )
