Beskrivning
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 havssula, tordmule and tretåig mås accompanied by rarer species like brednäbbad simsnäppa, alkekung, lunnefågel and balearisk lira. ejder, sjöorre and alfågel maybe encountered sheltering in the calmer waters to the North of Towan Head. All species of divers may also be seen. skärsnäppa and svart rödstjärt are also winter visitors to the headland.
