Descrizione
Towan Head is a headland one mile west of Newquay on the north coast of Cornwall. It is at the western end of Newquay Bay. The headland points north and this makes Towan Head a local sea-watching hotspot. Winter gales can produce a large westerly seabird passage which can involve thousands of Sula, Gazza marina and Gabbiano tridattilo accompanied by rarer species like Falaropo beccolargo, Gazza marina minore, Pulcinella di mare and Berta balearica. Edredone, Orchetto marino and Moretta codona maybe encountered sheltering in the calmer waters to the North of Towan Head. All species of divers may also be seen. Piovanello violetto and Codirosso spazzacamino are also winter visitors to the headland.
