Sunday 13th July

This was one of those quiet, cotton wool cloud, windless mornings when many people make the most of the Downs, walking, jogging, cycling, picnicking, flying kites, or just watching. There was very little activity from the Peregrines, an occasional glimpse as they settled into the cliff under the Peregrine Watch, and sightings at various parts of the quarry, the banana tree and down by the Valerian. One was visible from Sea Walls on the nest, but had gone when I returned later. Then, a buzzard flew in circles over Walcombe Slade. On the river mud there were groups of Black Headed Gulls.
