Second homers flock back to Cornwall! We like to call them old friends as this week saw the return of Curlews, Red Shanks, Sandpipers and Black Headed Gulls from their spring nesting sites. @EnjoyFowey @Bosinver @BoteletCornwall @LoveFowey @LoveLostwithiel @Love_Looe

Only 10 more lazy days before the lockdown eases and Cornwall’s summer rush starts. Join us if you can while it’s quiet. Daily trips. Small groups guaranteed!

Swarms, swallows and hedgehogs all in a day. A swarm of bees in our garden; young swallows in our car port; and a hedgehog on our drive. Isn’t nature wonderful!

Covid Collies! Kayaking and social distancing is easy on the water but more challenging on land. Woody and Jake are now trained to strictly maintain the 2m rule at our Boatshed base. Those breaking the rules risk a serious licking! Daily tours now available. Join us if you can.

This wonderful Green Man now guards the space inside...it was carved from Limewood by our friend and neighbour, and ‘swapped’ for David’s help in taking down a holly tree..I have loved it for years, & so thrilled that it has come to live on the land..@artfromcornwall @LoveFowey

Managed to finish planting more snowdrops before the rain & wind! Slowly establishing a Snowdrop walk in the Little Wood, and putting a few clumps in the hedgerows so that guests can see them as they come up the drive... I get mine from @NaturescapeUK fab quality, & fast delivery

Turnstones,a rare sight on our trips, seen rock hopping in the harbour. Also seen? Kingfishers, herons, egrets, cormorants, shags, oyster catchers, curlews, sandpipers, little grebes and almost no human beings! Perfect winter paddling. @BTO_Cornwall @EnjoyFowey @CwallWildlife

Dark winter mornings mean that it’s easy to be up for the sunrise. Particularly when you’ve got two dogs with cabin fever. @EnjoyFowey @ILoveCornwallUK @NTSouthWest @LooeLove @cornwall4dogs

We have trips every day right the way through until the beginning of November, and after that by request... the winter can often be the best time to spot wildlife when the river is quieter... @FoweyInfo @GreenTourismUK @LooeLove @Bosinver @LoveLostwithiel @CwallWildlife

Our sister business - so now you can kayak, walk, paddle, cycle and stay too! All with the emphasis on nature, peace & quiet and sustainable living...
A little film to cheer up the miserable day - thanks to Rob Butterworth, who stayed with us in the summer for the drone footage.. it’s great to show the Sanctuary in the landscape... #offgrid #carbonneutral @CornwallAONB @GreenTourismUK @tevicornwall @FoweyInfo

If you think you’re too small to make a difference, try sleeping with a mosquito #climatechange @RamePeninsulaNP @kayakcornwall

It’s summer and the supermarkets have these cheap (£8) polystyrene surfboards for sale again. Please do NOT buy them. They disintegrate into tiny pieces when they break up after being abandoned on the beaches & kill wildlife @Asda BADSDA 😡😡🌍☹️

Well deserved. We think the work you do there is wonderful.
We’re totally delighted to get a Gold @GreenTourismUK award! More to do yet, but such a great start for our new business. Our whole aim is to show that you can make even small changes and it does make a difference! @CornwallAONB @LoveFowey @CwallWildlife @tevicornwall
