Incredible Wildlife Encounters on The Lizard | Bird & Butterfly Photography Adventure

Join us on a beautiful trip to The Lizard in Cornwall while our floor was being sanded at home! Trudi and I stayed in a lovely cottage and explored the stunning coastline, beaches, and hidden wildlife treasures. In this video, I set out with my camera to photograph some of my favourite species — swallows, butterflies, and, most excitingly, the iconic Cornish choughs. After a peaceful evening walk and a few ice creams (it wouldn’t be a proper Cornish trip without them!), I set off to Lizard Point in search of chough fledglings. Despite the heat and some tough light for photography, I was rewarded with incredible close encounters: two adult choughs and up to five (maybe even six or seven!) fledglings. Watching them beg for food and interact with their parents was simply magical — a real highlight of the trip. We also visited Degibna Woods, where we spotted butterflies, dragonflies, and even a buzzard up close. The dogs enjoyed shaded walks and swims in the lake, and of course, we made the most of the Cornish summer with plenty of seaside relaxation. I share some of the conservation story of the chough — from extinction in Cornwall to their amazing recovery — and why these birds are so special to the region. If you love wildlife, bird photography, or just a taste of Cornwall’s natural beauty, I think you'll enjoy this one.
