Cornwall is the most south westerly part of the British mainland, characterised by farmland, sea cliffs, estuaries and an immense area of moorland called Bodmin Moor. A feature of Cornwall in the time that we visit, in the autumn, is a mass migration of waders and seabirds. There is an opportunity to see rarities that are rare or impossible to see in most other places.

July is a time when a lot of animals are beginning to appear earlier in the night, especially in the latter part of the month.

The Badgers are coming to the hide much later, with the daylight hours extending until after 10 pm, we have adjusted our start time and this can mean some very late nights. One night after 11 pm, a female Badger walked in and was transitioning into her summer coat. Her fur was mostly blonde, but with a grey patch spreading down the neck. I explained to the guests that the grey patch was the summer coat coming through and it looks a deeper silvery grey than its winter coat.
