All about the wildlife. Celebrating, conserving, and recording the wildlife of St Austell, Mevagissey & Veryan Bays. 🌳🦔🦑🦭🪰🐝🌼🐬








In bang-average weather we held our fifth annual New Year Plant Hunt today in Mevagissey. 10 intrepid walkers counted 78 species, including Common Whitlowgrass, Betony, Jersey Cudweed, and a Garden Pansy in an arable field. Bosh! #NewYearPlantHunt @BSBIbotany

Braved the showers on the coast to look for a new plant, and success! Carrot Broomrape parasitising Sea Carrot (not the healthy one in photo 2, I can assure you!) well worth the soggy walk home #wildflowerhour #Orobanche #cornwall @ThreeBaysWild @wildflower_hour @nationaltrust














Very fun #NewYearPlantHunt in Mevagissey with a small crew who braved the weather warnings. Our record count in 4 years of doing this route (not that we are competitive…).
