TRANSLATION: A record 55 pairs of choughs made an attempt at breeding this summer. It was feared the wet spring would make life tough for the inexperienced pairs, but 108 choughlets are known to have fledged successfully. The chough, with its distinctive red bill and legs, is part of Cornwall's coat of arms but they became extinct in Cornwall 50 years ago. A pair then arrived on the Lizard in 2001 and the species then recolonised the area.
The return of the chough is regarded as a great conservation success, with wildlife experts, landowners, and volunteers all working together.

TRANSLATION: The University of Exeter is organising events to mark the legacy of the first Cornish communities to emigrate to Latin America in 1824.
Thousands of Cornish miners emigrated to the Pachuca-Real del Monte area of Hidalgo, central Mexico, to find gold and silver. The Cornish brought the machinery of the industrial revolution in the form of highpressure steam engines and started cricket and football leagues. The miners took Cornish pasty recipes with them, which were passed on to Mexican miners and are still used in today. Celebration events include tours of the archives at Kresen Kernow, activities at the Redruth International Mining and Pasty Festival and a talk at the Royal Cornwall Museum and University of Exeter’s Penryn campus, with all events taking place in September.

TRANSLATION: The Buttermarket in Redruth is being restored by community interest company Redruth Revival as part of a £4m scheme.
According to the group the building - which was built in 1825 and primarily used as a meat market for local butchers - is being transformed into a food and shopping hub with work spaces and a gallery. It is due to open on 20 September. According to Redruth Revival a number of musical events are scheduled to celebrate the opening month and buskers and pop-up markets will also be happening on weekends.
