On Friday we had brilliant sunshine - it made the legs of the Redshank glow! With a receding tide, the area of mud increases on each visit, and the mud is inhabited by numerous gulls and ducks. there was a Heron for a while. At the Peregrine Watch two birds were perched close together on a small tree to the left of the Banana Tree, the latter had one bird in it, but was difficult to see with the binoculars.
Monday was cold and dull with even more mud, and the Mallard and Gulls strung out for the whole river length. There may have been some Redshank, but they were well down river, only specks in the glasses. As I arrived at the Peregrine Watch a female flew from the cliff below us, and over to the opposite quarry where she disappeared into the small trees. I could not see where she landed. Too cold to linger!
