A quick update on the choughs

The news is that Whitebrown and Brownblue were being seen regularly near Land’s End with their three boys (Orangered, Orangelime and Orangegreen).  There are some photos of the birds on the Cornish chough blog here and here.  However, recent sightings now put at least two of the new boys (Orangelime and Orangegreen) up near Newquay/Watergate bay, having travelled up there with a male and female youngster from the other Penwith brood from this year.  With Whitebrown and Brownblue being young enthusiastic parents it doesn’t surprise me that the boys have quickly started to travel long distances from home.  I just hope that they have a safe winter.
