Sunday 14th January

From home to the Peregrine Watch is about three and a half miles across Bristol. This morning was bright and clear with a large number of Sunday walkers, joggers, cyclists and car drivers(!) making the most of the sunshine. Most of the flood water on the Downs has cleared away, so there were a couple of junior football groups out playing on the pitches. At the Gorge, few birds apart from the usual pigeons flitting around Leigh Woods, and the usual crows, seagulls and mallards. I avoided the Peregrine Watch this morning, there was a large group of 'birders' where I usually stop, so I went down the path at the side of the Gorge a little way, and came back through the woods and joined the road again at the bottom of Ladies Mile.
