September 7, 2024,Cornwall Southwest Coast Path Tag 3

Day 3 on the Southwest Coast Path in Cornwall takes us from Mawgan Port to Newquay. The weather remains stable!

It is surprisingly common to see falcons on the coast, waiting quietly in the wind for their prey. Occasionally they are attacked by seagulls or crows, but they quickly turn away and don't seem to mind much.
