Tuesday: A strong gale swept down the Gorge from the NNE, blowing the rooks, jackdaws, and seagulls around the sky. A brief glimpse of (probably) a sparrow hawk over the wooded valley beside Sea Walls, at first I thought it was just another rook, then it attracted the attention of others. Mobbing is a sure sign of a hawk. Lots of birds on the downland grass.
Wednesday: Cold and clear with a wind from nearer the east. A brief glimpse of a heron as I arrived at the peregrine watch. Seagulls on the mud, and several pairs of mallards swimming up river with the incoming tide.
