Wednesday 6th September

High cloud and sunshine this morning, quite warm. The river current was taking floating gulls downstream quite fast, and a flock of jackdaws was in the air. I arrived at the Peregrine watch at 9.10am and stayed for a quarter hour. A peregrine took off from the cliff below me just after I arrived, flew over to Leigh Woods and briefly circled around the woods, then flew back to the cliff. Quite a large bird, so probably female. I heard a young peregrine calling just after this.
