Thursday, Friday, 17th, 18th April

Friday: As I arrived at the Peregrine Watch and peered over the edge for the foxes, I noticed a Kestrel land in one of the ash trees beside the road, he didn't stop long, but swooped down onto the newly cut grass, there was a flutter of wings as he caught - something - probably a vole or mouse - and was off. Apart from several squadrons of Mallard, a duo of Cormorants, and numerous Seagulls, Crows and Jackdaws, a solitary Redshank, not much! The east wind was very strong and cold, so much so that I walked along part of Circular Road rather than cycle into the wind. Not a day to linger.
Thursday by contrast was sunny and only cold when the clouds passed, a small group of Redshank were feeding on the mud below Sea Walls.
