Just returned from Cornwall, so after this, a few backblips for last few days...

Love Cornwall. I just had to succumb and get this pin badge to show allegiance and adorn camera bag!

Saint Piran's Flag is regarded by many as the national flag of Cornwall. The banner of Saint Piran is a white cross on a black background. The Cornish flag is an exact reverse of the former Breton national flag (black cross) and is known by the same name "Kroaz Du".

The Red-billed Chough, Pyrrhocorax pyrrhocorax, is a bird in the crow family. Its eight subspecies breed on mountains and coastal cliffs from the western coasts of Ireland and Britain - I'd previously seen them off the coast of North Wales but didn't realise it is the national animal of Cornwall.
