Thursday 29th March

A cormorant was leaving the Gorge as I cycled towards Sea Walls, it is unusual to see them flying in this direction. At the Peregrine Watch I was treated to spectacular flying display by a peregrine, he was soaring around, and from some of the high speed swoops he made, probably looking for breakfast! He dived very fast at the cliff underneath me, maybe chasing the jackdaws that roost there. He scared the daylights out of one jackdaw on the other side of the river, driving it to a hasty retreat in the trees near the water edge. While he was flying the absence of other birds in the air was very noticeable . So far as I saw he did not find find his breakfast! At one point he was joined by another peregrine, but this one disappeared out over Leigh Woods.
