Last Thursday, 28 January I was joined by Richard Benyon MP, Shadow Minister for the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs and Julie Girling MEP on a visit to Newlyn.

Fishermen must be given far greater control over the future of their industry and fast. Richard Benyon MP understands this....

Haven't done much birding lately but spent today around the West of Cornwall, down at Drift, Newlyn, Sennen and Hayle. Nice to bump into Sam at Drift and also Richard. Some of these shots were digi-scoped by John and some taken by me.

Snow, snow and more snow............. We are as I type, having another "downfall", not sure whether that's the right words for "load of snow", but I'm sure you get what I'm meaning, we certainly aren't used to this in the UK let alone, warm, sunny, yet mostly windy (as Lisa always kept telling us before we moved here) Cornwall! The postman managed to get through to us yesterday,...

Cornwall's increasing reliance on the tourist industry, where jobs are often seasonal, has created real rural poverty - over the last twenty years in the Penwith area, almost all the light engineering and other manufacturing businesses that once employed many have shut their doors. Both Penzance and Newlyn, with fishing and other port based industries and businesses, must fight to extract as many

Using the Newlyn Harbour AIS page it is possible to see what sort of fishing activity there is around the coast of Cornwall. There are obviously some significant shoals of pelagic fish off the Lizard - three big freezer trawlers, the Ariadne, Helen Marie and Oceaan VII are working the grounds together today.

Ageing GREAT NORTHERN DIVERS in late November and early December Last night, admittedly in poor weather conditions, a GREAT NORTHERN DIVER was observed at Brogborough Lake in Bedfordshire which proved far from straightforward to age (see Neil Wright's image at the top of this thread). The bird was very dark and contrasting on the upperparts and showed little 'chequering' on the mantle and back typically...
