Wednesday 11th April

I counted sixteen redshank on the mud below Sea Walls, all on the east bank of the river. Over at the Peregrine Watch one of the pair made nearly the same journey as yesterday, a long glide took him over to a small oak just above the (presumed) yew tree. He only sat for a few minutes, then returned to the cliff beneath me. I'm inclined to ask "why did the peregrine cross the river"?
