Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, 5-7th March

On Wednesday the two Peregrines were clearly visible over in the oak trees, for the other two days they may have been sitting behind the bare branches, but it was difficult to tell. They also seemed to be in nearly identical p[ositions on the latter two days. The Jackdaws have been falling around the sky in strong winds, and the spindly red legs of the Redshank have become more visible in the sunlight. On Friday morning a Curlew accompanied a Redshank in a little circular inlet in the river mud opposite Sea Walls. The difference in size between these two waders is striking, the Redshank half the size of the Curlew. The Ravens seem to be nest building.
