Can you please emphasise the fact that Trevose Head is privately owned and there is absolutely no access to the fields. The farmer, the RSPB and resident birders have been working hard to create optimum breeding and feeding habitat for Corn Buntings and other farmland species. It has been necessary to remove a number of twitchers from fields , both yesterday and today.
