Descrição
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 Mariquita-de-rabo-vermelho was found here years ago and more recent rarirites include Tordo-eremita! During Autumn migration the wood is good for Papa-moscas-preto and Papa-moscas-cinzento, Felosa-bilistada, Estrelinha-de-cabeça-listada and possibly something rarer such as Papa-moscas-pequeno or Felosa-troquilóide.
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 Cuco-de-bico-amarelo was found by a visiting birder in October 2014. This area is also good for warblers which can include Toutinegra-de-barrette-preto, Papa-amoras-comum, papa-amoras-cinzento, Felosa-musical, Felosa-comum and Felosa-das-figueiras.
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 Torcicolo in the Autumn. The moor is a good spot for Tarambola-dourada in the winter and Pipits and Buntings during the Autumn. Escrevedeira da Lapónia is a regular Autumn migrant here and Chasco-cinzento and Cartaxo-nortenho can be found amongst the heather. Cartaxo-comum are very common too. Keep a look out for birds of prey. falcão-peregrino, Tartaranhão-azulado, Tartaranhão-ruivo-dos-pauis, Ógea, Esmerilhão, peneireiro-de-dorso-malhado / peneireiro, coruja-da-igreja / coruja-das-torres and Coruja-do-nabal 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 Felosa-icterina, Felosa-poliglota, Picanço-de-dorso-ruivo and Picanço-barreteiro, Toutinegra-carrasqueira, Poupa and Andorinha-dáurica. Keep a listen out for flyover Chamariz-comum in Spring too! Anything can turn up here.
Resident birds include Gralha-de-bico-vermelho, Corvo, Laverca, Petinha-dos-prados, Carriça, Ferreirinha-comum, Pisco-de-peito-ruivo and Petinha-marítima.
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 Albatroz-de-sobrancelha, Freira do Bugio, Pardela da Trindade (yet to be accepted) and Painho de Wilson. When conditions are right (South-westerly gales are best!) there can be thousands of Bobo-grande, Pardela-de-bico-preto, Pardela-preta, Pardela do Mediterrâneo and Pardela-sombria with a supporting cast of Paínho-de-cauda-quadrada Fulmar-glacial, Ganso-patola, Moleiro-parasítico, Moleiro-de-cauda-comprida, Moleiro-grande, Moleiro-pomarino, Gaivota de Sabine, Falaropo-de-bico-grosso, Painho-de-cauda-forcada and all manor of divers, ducks, auks, terns, gulls and waders flying past!

Acesso
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!
