Sunday, 19th August

It was cloudy and a little cold today, intermittently, when the sun came out it became summer! A Peregrine was perched on the top of the yew tree opposite, he moved once, flew around the quarry, returning to the tree to become a statue for the rest of my visit. A Buzzard came past. When it first appeared over by Sea Walls it was chased by some crows, then it flew down around the tree tops opposite, and disappeared up towards the Suspension Bridge. Other visitors were a troop of Scouts, the Balmoral going down river and the Bristol open-top tours bus. The usual group of local birders were camped on chairs 10 meters back from the rim.
