Sunday 20th May

A bright, slightly cool day; the Downs were especially pleasant since cars were being excluded from most surrounding roads in preparation for a charity run. That did not stop a group of birders setting up cameras and telescopes at the Peregrine Watch. I saw one peregrine and another rather browner raptor - probably a sparrow hawk.

I'm walking the Cleveland Way for the nest two weeks. I wonder what birds I'll be able to see? The route takes me along the coast from Saltburn to Filey, so various sea birds, and there should be grouse on the moors.
