The birds of the coast are well worth observing: in 1935 an anonymous writer mentions Willapark as the scene of spectacular flocks of seabirds (eight species); inland he describes the crows (including the [[Red-billed chough|Cornish chough]] and the raven) and falcons which frequent the district. B. H. Ryves mentions the [[razorbill]] as numerous at Tintagel (perhaps the largest colony in the county) and summarises reports from earlier in the century.<ref>Ryves, B. H. (1948) ''Bird Life in Cornwall''. London: Collins.</ref> In 1991, a local bird keeper, Jon Hadwick, published ''Owl Light'' about his experiences keeping ten owls and a buzzard.<ref>Hadwick, Jon (1991) ''Owl Light: the unique story of a boy and his owl.''

A hundred years later Harry Sandercock observed that even modern agricultural changes had not reduced the bird populations.<ref>Dyer (2005); pp. 195–96, 431.</ref>
