Friday April 13th

The weather was rather dull and cold this morning - I should have worn my gloves. The Peregrine Watch was very quiet, scarcely a bird to be seen or heard, neither could I see any redshank on the mud, despite the tide being so low that rocks were visible on the river bed. A few jackdaws did take off in a flock, then shortly after the unmistakable glide of a peregrine, down towards the river, coming from my left and going downstream over on the Leigh Woods side, and then across to the small quarry beside Sea Walls. He did not return. I did not see whether the bird came off the nest beneath the Watch. I could not see any ravens.
