Thursday 31st August

A rather grey day today, but with a warm wind comming down Circular Road (Leading to Sea Walls). Lots of jackdaws prodding around on the football pitches. I was earlier this morning, getting to the jackdaw tree around 8.20am. A peregrine left the cliff underneath, flew across the gorge to the cliff on the other side, then flew over the trees in the gorge, finally disappearing over the woods above Nightingale Valley. I was only there for about five minutes, so was lucky to see the bird. Not many other birds apart from a few jackdaws (in their tree!), and the usual sea gulls.
