A rainy day at Tehidy Country Park

A canopy of autumn leaves at Tehidy Country Park

The morning of Sunday 26th October was greeted by a blanket of misty rain in west Cornwall, hardly the most promising of starts for a CWT Photography Group field trip to Tehidy Country Park, near Camborne. To be honest the thought of walking around this very popular woodland & lake with all the Sunday morning dog walkers & the young families armed with bread for the ducks & squirrels wasn't exactly my idea of a walk on the wildside!

An introduction to Cornish Dragonflies & Damselflies

 

Dragonflies and damselflies are extremely beautiful insects which capture the very essence of summer as they perform their intricate aerobatics around the gleaming backdrop of rivers and pools on warm and sunny days. As such they are highly visible, and important indicators of the health of our wetlands.

Garganta Verde in the Sierra de Grazalema

The view from the bottom of Garganta VerdeAs part of our week at the end of August with Clive & Sue (of  The Grazalema Guide and Wildside Holidays) we had permits for a visit to 'La Garganta Verde"' a “must do” for the more adventurous visitors to the Sierra de Grazalema Natural Park.
The 'Garganta Verde' is a 400metre deep, limestone gorge with a Griffon Vulture colony at the top, 'La Ermita' a pink cave at the bottom and dramatic landscape at all points in between.
