Battling the Weather

The event took place in persistent rain, with only a few short sunny intervals breaking through during the day. Even so, the participants continued their birdwatching throughout the wet conditions.

The trip was organised by Rowena Castillo-Nicholls, Founder and Chair of Connect with Nature, RSPB Kernow Group Leader, and Publicity Officer of Cornwall Birds.

Rob Nicholls led the fieldtrip.
