Bird Sightings

The fact that Rame Head and its surrounding area are so unspoiled with a minimal human presence is a huge benefit for biodiversity in general; the fact that it projects into the sea adds another special dimension. Nowhere is this clearer than in the astonishing variety of bird life that can be witnessed there. Rame Head or Penlee Point may be the first points of landfall for birds blown off migratory routes by south-westerly gales and this adds to the very special nature of the headland.

What follows is a list of 212 separate species that have been sighted in the last 40 years (plus one or two from an earlier date). This quite astonishing diversity puts the Rame Head among the top headlands in the whole South West as far as bird sightings is concerned.

The list is the initiative of local ornithologist Roger Smaldon, who has generously devoted the time to collating the sightings. All the records were verified at the time of sighting by the Caradon Field & Natural History Club (now not in being) and the Cornwall Birdwatching & Preservation Society. Another staunch supporter has added taxonomic data to the list and created the interactive table that appears below.

The sightings are for the area from Penlee Woods to the Point, together with the coastal path to Rame Head and the continuation to Queener Point and Polhawn. It also includes the area slightly inland, including the Penlee Nature Reserve and along the military road to Rame Church, Rame Barton and Penmillard.

 

The table, to which photographs will be added as and when they have been located, includes a code indicating the frequency of sightings which is as follows:

  • Regular (R) in area, but numbers can vary depending on time of year, weather etc.

  • Scarce (S) depending on seasons as well as weather etc.

  • Species (rare) that have occurred, usually as migrants, but not with any regularity at all.

  • Species (v. rare) that have been found perhaps only once or twice

  • Extreme rarities (ex. rare) that are important on a county, UK, or in one case European level.
