Today was forecast to be rather showery so we decided to spend the morning doing our respective work or DIY before heading out somewhere more indoorsy for the afternoon. I did do a brief tour of Pendeen but had little reward for my effort apart from a Chiffchaff and three Swallows and I was soon back at the laptop.

After lunch we decided to head along the coast road to Zennor where there was a local art fair. My VLW likes browsing at such things and managed to find an old chair that took her fancy and our eldest daughter found a mirror that she wanted as well. After the fair we decided to head over to the other side of the peninsular to mooch about on Marazion beach. We took the scenic route through Trewey Common where we saw four Ravens all sitting together on a wall as well as a couple of Canada Geese in one of the fields.
Over by Marazion the southerly wind was whipping up some nice waves so we indulged in that very British past-time of sitting in our car sipping a cup of tea (bought from the temporary kiosk as Jordans seems to be undergoing refurbishment at present) and watching the waves. A scan of the sea with my bins sadly couldn't find anything of note at all. I did nip over the road to the Marsh where I had nothing more that a Little Egret and a Heron for my troubles. Similarly Longrock Pool had a few loafing gulls, a couple of sleeping Little Grebes and a bunch of Moorhen. It was all very unproductive. Soon it was time to head back over the hill to the cottages for our evening meal.
