Operation Seabird at Godrevy
Gwithian,, Hayle, Cornwall, TR27 5ED
Event details
About the event
The Cornwall Marine & Coastal Code Group will be hosting an Operation Seabird event, a UK-wide partnership between police forces, conservation organisations and local authorities, created to help people enjoy our coastline responsibly. By giving wildlife the space it needs, we can all play a part in protecting seabirds, dolphins and other marineanimals for future generations.
Alongside the event, Cornwall Wildlife Trust will be hosting a sea watch, with telescopes and binoculars available to help you spot the wildlife that lives on, in and around our seas and understand how we can all do our part to protect it. Wildlife is wonderfully unpredictable, so sightings are never guaranteed, but August is a great time to visit Godrevy. Keep an eye out for birds such as gannets, Manx shearwaters, fulmars and kestrels. If conditions are calm, there's even a chance of spotting seals, common dolphins or harbour porpoises, which often visit St Ives Bay.
