Dawn chorus

One of the loveliest things about staying with us at Gwavas—whether you’re camping or in the B&B—is waking to the dawn chorus. From the garden and surrounding hedgerows we regularly hear robins, blackbirds, wrens, chaffinches, goldfinches, blue tits and great tits.

We manage the garden and hedgerows to support this. A range of flowers provides nectar and habitat for insects through spring and summer, which in turn supports the birds that feed on them. Later in the year, seed heads add another food source.

Together, the flowers and hedgerows help support biodiversity and keep birds on the farm year-round.
