Sunday November 19th

A very bright clear blue sky. At Sea Walls the sun was shining down from behind the Suspension Bridge, and onto the mud of the River; this acted as a huge magnifying mirror, so that the river was a blaze of light. The reflection concentrated the light and heat onto the top of the cliffs making the parking area at the top much, much hotter than from the natural sunlight. An incredible effect!
No peregrines (11am), but I did see a cormorant making its way up towards Bristol, and a heron flew down river and landed down on the wall beside the road and under Sea Walls. Curious that he did not land on the river edge.
