PINKSON CREEK

This small creek holds the second largest heronry in Cornwall, with up to 15 nests present. Also a major wader roost were Common Redshank, Common Greenshank, Eurasian Curlew and Whimbrel can all be viewed at the right time of the year. Mediterranean Gulls often use the creek to wash before continuing down river to roost in the evening.
