Sunday, Tuesday, 1st, 3rd March

Sunday afternoon brought out the crowds - and banished most birds from the downland, though a flock of Jackdaws had found a tasty patch to probe beside Ladies Mile. On the river I saw the lone Mute Swan on both days, I wonder if he/she is either looking for, or has lost a mate. There are a number of Swans on the docks water. There were a few Redshank on the mud on Sunday, and a Cormorant digesting its dinner. Tuesday I watched a flock of Jackdaws wheeling above the Gorge, the Raven pair were flying around, sometimes in the midst of the Jackdaws. A lone Peregrine left the Gully, flew over the river, and then up towards the Suspension Bridge.
