The Tresillian River and St Clement is just East of the City of Truro in West Cornwall.
Almost two walks in one, with two potential starting points. An excellent mixture of habitats including tidal estuary, small woodland, saline pool, open fields and tree and shrub lined footpaths. The Tresillian River is a tributary of the River Fal, the estuary mud and sandbanks enable waders to continue to feed in shallow water close to high tide. Bécasseau variable, Chevalier aboyeur, Chevalier gambette, Courlis cendré, Chevalier guignette and Barge à queue noire are usual in Spring/Autumn/Winter (press STAR on map). A small woodland is good for Roitelet triple-bandeau in Autumn/Winter, with Sittelle torchepot, Pic épeiche and mixed flocks of Mésange bleue, Mésange charbonnière, Mésange à longue queue especially in Winter (press Star on map). Tresemple Pool has regular sightings of Martin-pêcheur d'Europe, with Râle d'eau and Bécassine des marais usually present along with calling Rousserolle effarvatte. At high tide a number of waders use Tresemple Pool as a high tide roost (press STAR on map).
Be sure to check fields behind the pool for possible Héron garde-boeufs amongst livestock (press STAR on map). In Spring Balbuzard pêcheur are regularly seen hunting for Grey Mullet (Mugil cephalus) in the main estuary. In the small village of St Clement Hirondelle de fenêtre nest on the cottages. You can continue further South on a looping tree lined footpath that brings you back to St Clement. BE AWARE the footpath from the North starts off with a set of steps, for those less able/in wheelchairs use the St Clement car park for step free access.
The site has had some rarities. In 2015 Tresemple Pool had a Bihoreau gris, in 2016 the main estuary had a Pélican frisé.
Two starting places, in the North park in roadside layby on A390 (footpath starts with steps) or in the South in the village of St Clement (step free access). Press P on map for directions.
As with most estuaries a visit 3 hours either side of high tide is preferable. See the link to the tides table below.
