The wind was so strong at Sea Walls that I had difficulty holding my binoculars still even when held hard against the railings. I think I could see some Redshank on the mud, and they are pairing up for the spring. Just as I was about to cycle on, a bird flew over the gorge, at first I took it for a Cormorant, then realised it was some form of goose, but the time I had my glasses onto it it was too far away to identify. The wind at the Peregrine Watch was also very strong, a Peregrine was perched over in the oak tree, and the Ravens are starting to take an interest in their old nest.
The contractor working on the railway - and distributing wood chippings all over the sides of the cycle track and river bank is May Gurney. I'm informing various people who may be able to do something about this behaviour.
Further to this comment, the May Gurney web site at http://www.maygurney.co.uk/corporate/corporate.php
carriers the following messages:
- Minimising our impact on the environment and promoting sustainability and good environmental practices.
- Having a positive influence within the communities in which we operate.
- Take our environmental responsibilities seriously and be aware of the
impact of our operations on local communities.
Empty sentiments in this case!
