Wildlife holiday at Butterwell Farm Cornwall
We are so lucky at Butterwell to have some incredible wildlife right on our doorstep. We have a 2 mile stretch of the River Camel and this year we were paid a visit from local wildlife photographer, Adrian Langdon. Adrian has an incredible portfolio and regularly posts his Cornish Wildlife photos on his wildlife blog and his Facebook page.
Earlier this spring / early summer Adrian set up his hide in the middle of our river and captured some incredible images of a breeding pair of Kingfisher and their brood. The pair eventually had two broods and Adrian witnessed the youngsters fledging.
