Wednesday 23rd January

This was a very dull morning with a heavy layer of cloud, the air was damp, but at least it was not raining. Large groups of Black Headed and Common Gulls, with the occasional Herring and Black Headed Gull were lined up on the mud, they occasionally rose in a large flock to fly over the water. I could see a solitary Redshank on the mud and small rocks below Sea Walls, no courting today. Neither were there any Peregrines visible, flying or perched in the oak. Maybe I needed to stay longer for a viewing?
