The Redshank are back - when there is enough mud - so I saw them Tuesday and Wednesday. No raptors for a week now. Today, Friday, the Ravens were perched over on a patch of ivy just below their nest. A large flock of young Swallows were flying around over the Peregrine Watch and Downs when I arrived at around midday. With some cold weather now with us (it dropped to 4C on Wednesday night), they really need to be on their way. Maybe their dilatory behaviour is due to climate change.
What would cause a group of Jackdaws, five from a flock of a couple of dozen, to apparently go for a height record over Nightingale Valley? That is what it looked like this morning, they went so high that they nearly disappeared from sight. I also have a recurring memory of the four cormorants that flew up-river on Wednesday, all in a perfect half-v formation, and over the middle of the river, very close to the water.
