Saturday and Monday, 17th and 19th November

The weather has turned, with both cold and rain, so I'm in long trousers for my cycling! It has been high tide on the river for the last few visits, but the mud is starting to reappear. On Saturday I watched a Redshank having a bath at the river edge under Sea Walls, flapping in the water, with the white flashes on its wings, and the red legs appearing at times. There were Redshank today, but this morning I had to hurry past the Peregrine Watch in the pouring rain.
