Wednesday, 22nd July

I had to ride my Brompton 'cycle, the mountain bike is being repaired. The small wheel base and the different gearing, especially when riding on the flat, make this a much less pleasant ride.

At the Peregrine Watch three birds suddenly appeared, chasing, flying and calling as only Peregrines can. The consensus was that this was two youngsters, male and female, and one of the parents. The chase was very boisterous, and a pigeon who got into the act was chased but not caught. I don't think one of the youngsters was 'danglefoot', so where is she? After this four buzzards appeared just over the treeline of Leigh Woods and towards Portishead, they circled slowly and then disappeared. Other birds were flying high in this direction, pigeons and gulls?
