Spring in West Cornwall...

Cornwall is a great place to visit at any time of the year but Spring can be particularly rewarding. Good birds, plants and insects can be found and if you are lucky with the weather the scenery can be simply stunning. Dave Helliar just got back from a week long trip and had a good one by anyone's standards...
