Benny Island

Mevagissey - Inner Harbour The inner harbour at Mevagissey is well protected by several breakwaters. As can be seen, it is a popular place to moor boats. There are coastal trips available from this little port.

Benny Island is a small island located off the coast of Cornwall, England. It is situated in the Celtic Sea, approximately 1.5 kilometers southwest of the mainland town of Marazion. The island covers an area of about 1.2 hectares and is surrounded by rocky shores and clear turquoise waters.

The island is known for its unique and diverse wildlife, making it a popular destination for nature enthusiasts. It is home to a variety of seabirds, including puffins, gulls, and cormorants, which can be observed nesting on the cliffs during breeding season. Additionally, the surrounding waters are teeming with marine life, such as seals, dolphins, and occasionally even basking sharks.

Access to Benny Island is limited, as it is only accessible by boat during low tide. The island's rocky terrain and lack of facilities make it unsuitable for overnight stays or long visits. However, it is often included as a stop on boat tours or birdwatching excursions, allowing visitors to catch a glimpse of its natural beauty.

Benny Island's rich history also adds to its allure. It is believed to have been inhabited since ancient times, with evidence of prehistoric settlements and burial grounds discovered on its shores. In more recent history, the island was used as a lookout point during World War II to monitor enemy movements in the English Channel.

Overall, Benny Island offers a unique and captivating experience for those seeking to explore Cornwall's natural wonders and delve into its rich past.

Mevagissey - Preening shag I am reliably informed that this is a shag (Gulosus aristotelis) rather than a cormorant (Phalacrocorax carbo) as "the eye is separate from the bare skin at the base of the bill. Other useful signs for a shag are a thin bill, steep forehead, relatively longer tail and slimmer neck" (thanks to Hugh <a title="https://www.geograph.org.uk/profile/3176" href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/profile/3176">Link</a> for this information)
I think it is quite a young bird as it does not seem to have its full adult plumage, and apparently the fact that he has a white chin is indicative of this.
It was busy preening itself on rocks just outside Mevagissey harbour.
