Descripción
The twin villages of Higher Porthpean and Lower Porthpean now just called Porthpean and the headland of Black Head give views over the South facing sheltered St Austell Bay. Whilst there are landbirds throughout the year, the area comes into it's own during Spring/Autumn migration and especially during Winter when the bay can hold Colimbo Grande, Colimbo Ártico, Zampullín Cuellirrojo and occasionally Colimbo Chico. NOTE: due to having to look East, an afternoon visit to prevent low Winter sun 'glare' is best, overcast skies and calm water helps with identifying birds on the water.
For those with more time a walk further South to Black Head, possibly calling in at Ropehaven Cliffs Nature Reserve (Cornwall Wildlife Trust), at Black Head (seawatching) look for passing Alcatraz Atlántico, Fulmar Boreal, Arao Común, Alca Común, Charrán ártico, Charrán Común and possibly Frailecillo Atlántico.
This area is always worth checking out, in the past Colimbo de Adams, Falaropo Picogrueso, Mérgulo Atlántico and Negrón Careto have been seen.
