Monday September 10th

A Peregrine in the Banana Tree was just visible from Sea Walls, he was still there when I left the Peregrine Watch half and hour later. Another peregrine was flying - a large, slightly brown bird with an indistinct 'mask', so probably a young female. She made a couple of half-hearted dives at pigeons, one by Walcombe Valley, the other over to the bottom of the left hand quarry. Then she disappeared. There was a Buzzard circling over towards Horseshoe Bend, and making its way over Avonmouth.

Most notable was a large group of Swallows, juveniles and grown-ups, circling high around and above the Peregrine Watch, the whole group disappeared all at once, so I expect they are Sahara bound. Good luck!
