We were away last week, Monday to Friday, beside the sea at Bridport. I did see a couple of Gannets, but otherwise the weather kept most birdwatching to being a dream!
Sunday: a morning ride around the Downs; a couple of Redshank below Black Rock and a sighting of a Peregrine flying back over the Downs towards Shirehampton.
Monday: I counted 39 Redshank below the Sea Walls cliffs, mostly in two large groups on the river mud opposite, but a couple on this side. At the Peregrine Watch a bird flew from the cliff below me, and over to perch in a small ash tree opposite - looking as usual like a small lantern. The Raven was very visible on her nest. I wonder if the chicks have hatched?
