Wednesday 13th September

10.00am at the gorge. The river was very rough with a wind from the Suspension Bridge. A peregrine, probably a female, came up suddenly above me, then swooped down towards the quarry on the other side. She disappeared into some bushes; maybe a kill? A few minutes later a number of small birds fled the quarry, and a little later she flew back to the cliff under the peregrine watch. Peregrines move fast, and often, the first I see is them as they appear from the camouflage of the trees opposite. The best place to view them as they come in to roost is up close to the cliff edge - near the 'Danger' sign.
