What a miserable wet day, but never mind on with seeing the sights, caching and walking. We had a good look round Padstow this morning and I don't think I have ever seen such enormous fishing boats or are they trawlers? These need to be seen to be believed.
Padstow Harbour
There is a webcam at Padstow http://www.padstow-harbour.co.uk/phc_webcam.html looking over one of the harbour car parks and running around the car park were a few turnstones, definitely used to people and not afraid to run within a few feet of us.
Exploring the back streets of Padstow whilst caching we came across St Petrocs church, where there were masses of primroses amongst the slate headstones.
Many of the headstones in the churchyard are made of slate and even the very old ones dating back as far as 1795 were still in great condition and very easy to read unlike old headstones made of other stone elsewhere.
We then walked back through Padstow where a cormorant was taking a break on a large buoy in the harbour and walked a little way along the Camel Trail towards Wadebridge. Across the sand we saw more turnstones turning stones over funnily enough! and an egret, oystercatcher and at last after a few weeks of waiting we saw SWALLOWS! I was very happy to see them, summer is on the way! (she said under an umberella being blown about).
