Descrição
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 Ganso-patola, Torda-mergulheira and Gaivota-tridáctila accompanied by rarer species like Falaropo-de-bico-grosso, Torda-anã, Papagaio-do-mar and Pardela do Mediterrâneo. Eider-edredão, Pato-preto and Pato-de-cauda-afilada maybe encountered sheltering in the calmer waters to the North of Towan Head. All species of divers may also be seen. Pilrito-escuro and Rabirruivo-preto are also winter visitors to the headland.
