Portmellon Valley Wildlife Walk

5/14/2019

0 Comments

 
Location: Portmellon, Mevagissey
Photographer: Rowena Castillo Nicholls
​Videographer: Rob Nicholls

The weather is just glorious. Sunny and warm with a gentle breeze. So, me and Rob thought if would be fantastic if we go for a walk in Portmellon Valley. The valley is just so picturesque. All you see is lush green fields and plenty of gorgeous wild flowers. 
We've seen 15 different species of butterflies and loads of birds too. We had an enjoyable walk from 12:00pm to 5:30pm.

We can't help but reward ourselves with a sumptuous fish and chips at "The Fishermen's Chippy" after our long walk.
