A very bright, clear and warm morning, a small yacht was going down river. Three cormorants came from the Avonmouth direction, two carried on past the boat, the other landed in the river, then took off some minutes later, following the other two into Bristol.
A raven came down river, and about level with the cliff top, large and with beautiful glossy black feathers, a few moments later a peregrine came past, the two went into the trees in the valley beside Sea Walls, there was a brief chase, and the peregrine returned - to land on a tree opposite in the middle of the Leigh Woods. Just below this tree another looks rather like a large 'K'. The peregrine stayed put, but I lost sight of him, his presence was given away by a pigeon who approached the same tree, then veered off! The peregrine remained until I left for home at around 11am. Just before that a sparrowhawk flew towards Bristol and just above me. An active few minutes!
