The Admiral Benbow is one of Cornwall's most extraordinary pubs. Originally serving as an illegal drinking den and smugglers hideout., it retains the original smuggling tunnels, used to run contraband from the quayside straight to the pub's cellar. The free house is known for its long connections to the local community and its famous club nights. Inside, rests one of the largest private collection

s of nautical memorabilia in the West Cornwall comprising a number of ships figureheads, over a dozen ship's anchors and a collection of life rings from shipwrecks that foundered on the Cornish shores over the years. We serve a full menu from 6 to 9:30 and have a bar stocked with the finest beers, wines and spirits. We serve a wide selection of lagers, ales and ciders in bottles and on draught. We have a small winelist of excellent and well priced wines from aorund the world. Worth explorting is our extensive collection of over forty Rums and Gins. Our classic menu highlights the best of local produce from the sea and the land, including vegetarian or vegan options. Dietary restrictions can be catered for if notice is given (gluten free, nut allergies etc). We are open 5 nights a week for drinks between 17:00 to 23:00 with food available between 18:00 and 21:30.

And just like that they’re gone. Andy and Angela were here last night and when I looked for them today they had gone. Flown the nest. Good luck to a pair of lovely gull chicksits been an honour sharing their lives so far. Here’s to a long and healthy life for all of them. ###

In lighter news, Kemi was back on my roof at 5am trying to eat my garden hose. You can see that her flying feather are almost fully grown. She flaps her wings and while she can't fly yet she can lift herself a few inches. I put her safely back up on her roof so she can stay safe and away from Monty and Cloudesley.

I think I have found Rupert, Rest in Peace little guy. Curious chicks start exploring their environment at this age. Amazingly even though they can't fly they are able to survive high falls without much injury using what feathers are there (most of them) to slow them down. Once on the road however traffic is a problem. Please be careful when driving around and look out for chicks wandering about aimlessly. Once they learn to fly properly (in a few weeks' time) they will take to the air and be safe again. These poor little things deserve a longer life than just a few weeks on a roof and the beginning of a Cornish summer.
