Descrição
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 Mobêlha-grande, Mobêlha-árctica, Mergulhão-de-pescoço-castanho and occasionally Mobêlha-pequena. 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 Ganso-patola, Fulmar-glacial, Arau-comum, Torda-mergulheira, Andorinha-do-mar-árctica, Andorinha-do-mar-comum and possibly Papagaio-do-mar.
This area is always worth checking out, in the past Mobêlha-de-bico-branco, Falaropo-de-bico-grosso, Torda-anã and Pato-careto have been seen.
