Tuesday 17th November

A squawk from a Seagull high above Sea walls alerted me to the Peregrine, she was soaring around above the end of the Down, and it looked as if she was hunting. The Gull gave up and she continued, then made off towards the Peregrine Watch where I lost sight of her. A little while later as I cycled past the the Gully she reappeared, then moved rapidly over the Down towards Clifton.
On the mud, a large line of Gulls, some Mallard, and a couple of Redshank, both close enough under the cliffs to get a good view of their red legs. They use their long bills to explore the mud under the water at the edge of the river. Home to breakfast.
