Wednesday was the only day when I saw a peregrine - again a quick flash of wings as he came into the cliff under the peregrine watch. The raven was soaring around the cliffs on the other side of the gorge - a large bird which I initially mistook for a buzzard.
"It (the raven) is massive, bigger than a buzzard. It is all black with a large bill, and long wings. In flight, it shows a diamond-shaped tail." See R.S.P.B. Apart from these a lone cormorant made its way up towards Bristol.
On Thursday three men were working on the slope beside the cliffs opposite, it was also very quiet.
Today, Friday, there were large groups of birds on the Downs - seagulls over behind the water tower - starlings beside Lady's Mile and a big group of jackdaws and crows on the Downs nearer to Sea Walls. The very mild weather means that there are a lot of worms and grubs near to the surface.
