The Chough! A proud member of the Crow family. It is said that King Arthur departed this world in the form of a chough, its red feet and bill signifying Arthur's violent and bloody end.

Morning lockdown birders. Today's was requested by who wanted another corvid (and why not?). So here's a good old Cornish Chough (*pace* Wales). I'm quite chuffed with it. Stay safe and take Kernow ('care now'... geddit?... oh forget it!). xx

This Cornish chough is hunkered down and a little grumpy. Just like me! Welcome to

Jays are wonderful - I spent several minutes looking for the poor cat stuck high in an oak, until it switched to Chough and finally the beautiful, quiet and complex song I’ve only heard a handful of times... Country Diary: https://t.co/pro59OWK4n

For yesterday's Hobonichi drawing I decided to draw a Cornish Chough. 📖🖊️⁣

It’s always so amazing when you catch a glimpse of them flying past or spot one nearby. I also felt that this bird would suit this week’s prompt, shadow, due to their elusive dark forms.

🦔 A little sneak peek into our first children’s book, ‘Cornish Mice and the Treasure Garden’ published by choughins - an imprint of Tor Mark. Beautifully illustrated and written by the fabulous Felicity Tattersall. How gorgeous is Martha the hedgehog!

Alpine birding today in north Greece on the tour I’m leading here for - views of Ortolan Bunting, Rock Thrush and Alpine Chough badly distracted by swathes of crocuses flowering across the mountain meadows.

Water Pipit still about this morning. Nice to see a pair of Chough also, only my second time to see them here since October. Some moulting Long-tailed ducks feeding close to shore will be even more stunning in another week.

New character! Meet Oswald Squill the oystercatcher.
When he's not trawling the tideline in search of shells he's in charge of keeping the lamps lit and trying to avoid Ariel the chough.
I based his hat off a painting by Gabriel Bray.

Seals a plenty, harbour porpoise, auks, chough, peregrine falcon and more. A perfect way to spend the evening.
