Thursday 22nd March

A grey day, but not as bitterly cold as yesterday, we are promised rain and warmth, and Summer? There are Chionodoxa just beyond the hedge at the Peregrine Watch, so we already have Spring. The tide was very high with a large amount of river debris starting to flow downstream, this is also the time for the Severn bore, but it does not affect the Avon. There were mallard on the river, and many wood pigeons over in the trees of Leigh Woods, but no raptors.
