Tuesday 21st November

Cold and with rain showers coming in on a moderate north wind, Wales in bright sunshine, us in a cloud shadow. The wind made the tide look as if it was coming in, but the river debris gave away the ebb. The only sign of any raptor was (what I thought could be) a peregrine call. It was not repeated. Abbots Leigh woods are now in their winter colours, bleak browns and yellows broken by the occasional evergreen.
