Wednesday, Thursday 8th and 9th November

Very heavy fog on Monday and Tuesday, then Wednesday there was a misty rain which became worse when I reached the Gorge! Rooks seem to congregate with jackdaws on the Downland grass, there was a small flock of black headed gulls in their winter plumage. No sign of any peregrines, but then, I was only at the Gorge side for a short time.

Sunday November 5th

Misty blue with high cloud over the Gorge this morning. I was not out until 11.30am. Just as I was about to leave a hawk flew over our heads and up towards the Suspension bridge. I think it was probably a kestrel. I think that one of the juvenile peregrines was perched down in a tree just to the right of the Peregrine Watch. He was moving around quite a lot, but I could see the whitish head and light coloured breast with brown feathers on his back. I waited for him to fly out - but he didn't!
