Opis
Porthgwarra has a bit of everything, habitat wise and a full day here can turn up a surprising amount of birds.
The car park has a small wooded copse to its north and this is often a good place to start your day. Britains first lasówka szkarlatna was found here years ago and more recent rarirites include drozdek samotny! During Autumn migration the wood is good for muchołówka żałobna and muchołówka szara, świstunka żółtawa, zniczek and possibly something rarer such as muchołówka mała or wójcik.
From here walk up the valley and after the wooden five bar gate take the path to the left and down into the wooded valley known as 60 Foot Cover. On a calm sunny morning take time here to stand/sit and observe the copse. A kukawik zóltodzioby was found by a visiting birder in October 2014. This area is also good for warblers which can include kapturka, cierniówka, piegża, piecuszek, pierwiosnek and gajówka.
Go back out of the valley and take the footpath right again onto the moorland. Just before the wall that cuts across the moor is the 'Dried up Pool'. Despite its name its not always dried up, but this is a good place to look for krętogłów in the Autumn. The moor is a good spot for siewka złota in the winter and Pipits and Buntings during the Autumn. poświerka is a regular Autumn migrant here and białorzytka and pokląskwa can be found amongst the heather. kląskawka are very common too. Keep a look out for birds of prey. sokół wędrowny, błotniak zbożowy, błotniak stawowy, kobuz, drzemlik, pustułka (zwyczajna), płomykówka (zwyczajna) and uszatka błotna have all been seen here.
A walk further towards Lands' End will find you at Trevean Pool. The pool itself is pretty much inaccesible but the surounding woodland is great for spring and autumn scarce migrants and overshoots like zaganiacz, zaganiacz szczebiotliwy, gąsiorek and dzierzba rudogłowa, pokrzewka wasata, dudek and jaskółka rudawa. Keep a listen out for flyover kulczyk in Spring too! Anything can turn up here.
Resident birds include wronczyk, kruk, skowronek, świergotek łąkowy, strzyzyk zwyczajny, pokrzywnica, rudzik and świergotek nadmorski.
From July through to late September, Porthgwarra becomes one of the UK's top seawatching hotspots. Some of the country's rarest seabirds have been seen from the cliffs at Gwennap Head including albatros czarnobrewy, petrel wyspowy, petrel oceaniczny (yet to be accepted) and oceannik żółtopłetwy. When conditions are right (South-westerly gales are best!) there can be thousands of burzyk żółtodzioby, burzyk wielki, burzyk szary, burzyk balearski and burzyk pólnocny with a supporting cast of nawałnik burzowy fulmar, głuptak, wydrzyk ostrosterny, wydrzyk długosterny, wydrzyk wielki, wydrzyk tęposterny, mewa obrożna, płatkonóg płaskodzioby, nawalnik duzy and all manor of divers, ducks, auks, terns, gulls and waders flying past!

From the A30 near Land's End take the B3315 to Polgigga, just after the duck pond take the road signposted to Porthgwarra. This is a very narrow road and can be busy during the summer and weekends. Get there early to avoid the crowds! There is a pay and display car park, toilets and a nice cafe that does great coffee, cakes and pasties!
