Kynance Gate - Stones

The Bronze Age (around 1200 BC) settlement of Kynance Gate lies on a gentle slope on the edge of open moorland above a turbulent stream which runs down through a rocky gorge to the sea. ‘Kynans’ is Cornish for narrow valley or gorge and the site may well have been chosen for its easy defensibility on the seaward side. Always worth checking for a passing Wryneck...

Lesser Scaup and some old stuff

Feeding the ducks in Helston, failed the test so must be an escape. Any good ducks should come to bread or they must have been abused and suffered at the hands of their captors. Not like this real McCoy up the coast...

Some older stuff
