Monday, Tuesday 3rd and 4th December

Monday was bright and clear - so the red legs of the Redshank were positively glowing in the morning sunshine and the images of a pair of cormorants just beyond Sea Walls were etched onto the sunshine on the river. At the Peregrine Watch I saw a Raven high up and towards the Suspension Bridge, then (I thought) another, but this was a Peregrine, there was a brief aerial scrap and they parted. Both birds circling and moving out of sight.
Tuesday was damp and misty, so the Redshank became indistinct and brown at the water edge. I got damp!
