Friday 6th April

High tide this morning: a cormorant passed down river, flying high over Leigh Woods, another flew very low over the water: three buzzards were circling over Leigh Woods (why three?); one of the peregrines was perched on the cliff. I did not see it, but did see a 'photo taken a few minutes earlier, the raptor was perched on a rock just below us. The 'photo was taken by Andras Kovacs of Bird Life International (Hungary) cf Magyar Madártani és Természetvédelmi Egyesület, Andras studies European eagles, and like many others is drawn to what must be one of the best sites there is to see and photograph peregrines. We are lucky! I hear that there is a security camera watching the nest this year. It would be great to see this on the web as a web cam, and would increase the number of eyes keeping guard! I did not see the ravens, not on the nest either.
