In autumn, as the leaves begin to turn, the night attracts the night, but it is one of the busiest periods of the year for birds in Helford as many gather to migrate to Africa.

Yesterday we saw Osprey on Helford for the first time! These giant birds live on fish, with over 80 fish species in the Helford River, and they have many options to choose from.

Ospreys are not the only birds that escape winter in England, and the little egrets gather on high numbers in Helford, perch like white lanterns on ancient oak branches. These amazing white birds are associated with herons. With bright yellow thread-woven feet, it is perfect for wading in muddy streams at low tides, while small black like gretworms look for edible clams and crabs. The little egrets also migrated to Africa in a warm winter climate, leaving our shores.

Grey Heron
Meanwhile, the Grey Heron will stay in the UK all year round. Tall prehistoric birds look more like feathered birds from the age of dinosaurs. The huge wing span is 1.8 meters and squeezes loudly, you won't miss them. They have a lovely white, gray and black feathers in a variety of colors.

kingfisher
If you want to see Kingfisher, this is the time to do it! In the fall, we see most of the witnesses. Small cobalt blue features birds with bright Russian orange chests darting around the stream, echoing the cobalt blue autumn sky and usset leaves on ancient oak trees. You may hear it as beautiful high-tilt chirping, or maybe a blue glitter flying above the water level, if you are lucky, see it perched on a low branch on a French stream, or a twig of Navas harbor, or eating fish on a Navas harbor stream or looking for the next catch.

Eurasian suspicion
Eurasian WHMBREL. The banks of the Helford River in Cornwall
The Eurasian embrace are curlew's relatives. Both have a lovely melodrama plague call that can be heard echoing along the French stream or Polwheveral Creek. Their curved beaks and long legs are perfectly suited to this rocky coastline environment, which includes mussels, sticks, lim, scallops and oysters.
swan
Currently, swans are collecting their numbers and can be seen floating frequently at the bottom of the French creek. If you're lucky, they'll even fly on the boat! Their broad white wings flapped and their long necks were poking out, which was a wonder. You can see where we get inspiration from the giant jets!
They found their partner at the age of 7 and were with them, and their lives were about 25-30 years old!
