Location: Truro Cathedral Photographer: Rowena Castillo Nicholls It's really a great and memorable experience to attend the Centenary Service in Truro Cathedral celebrating the 100 years of Cornwall Federation of Women's Institute. It's just amazing to see a gathering of women from every corner of Cornwall. The Women's Institute was first founded in Ontario, Canada in 1897. The NFWI in the UK was formed in 1915. The NFWI celebrated it's centenary in 2015. The Cornwall Federation of Women's Institute was formed in 1919. The WI is now the largest voluntary women's organisation in the UK. I'm really happy to be a member of this auspicious organisation inspiring women in Cornwall and the rest of the world.

Location: Kynance Cove, The Lizard Peninsula Photographer: Rowena Castillo Nicholls Videographer: Rob Nicholls Finally, we saw the Brown Booby at Kynance Cove. This bird is a first in the UK. I am super duper delighted that me and Rob drive-off immediately after my work otherwise we might have missed this once in a lifetime sighting. We also saw an unringed Chough. What a spectacular place for birdwatching. The Brown Booby breeds on islands and coasts in the pantropical areas of the Atlantic and Pacific oceans. They frequent the breeding grounds of the islands in the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean Sea. Brown Booby |
