Thursday 12th October

A Misty blue sky this morning when I arrived at the Peregrine Watch around 10.30am. The tide was high and just on the turn, a few ducks were exploring the river edges, the jackdaws were flying, often in pairs, and looked as if they were enjoying themselves. I saw an adult peregrine leave the cliff beneath me, and drop down in a big arc to land in a small bush, just below what I have heard called the 'banana tree'. I did not see him move from the bush for half and hour afterwards - despite waiting in hope!
