Thursday 19th July to Friday 27th July

An eventful week! Rain rain, rain and floods (elsewhere than Bristol).
Thursday 19th : my ride was cut short, so I did not get to see the Gorge.
Saturday, Sunday 21st, 22nd July. Peregrines sighted on both days, clinging to the cliff opposite, and flying.
Tuesday, 24th July. I met up with Roger again, we watched a juvenile Peregrine pursue a flock of racing pigeons, he was not too successful, the pigeons stayed in a tight bunch, occasionally one peeled off, but the Peregrine did not single it out. The whole chase disappeared off over towards Clifton.
Friday, 27th July. Another juvenile Peregrine was hunting over the Gorge, and though stooping on several occasions, did not catch anything that I could see. From Sea Walls I thought that I could see two Peregrines just by the cliff top on the grassy ledge. Lots of assorted gulls on the river mud. No deer tracks visible.
