Sunday 31st August, Monday 1st September

Sunday was warm, very damp and muggy, with low gray clouds. A Raven was crouched up on the edge of their nest. A very rapid fly-past of a red-brown Kestrel was the only other raptor sighting. About a dozen Jackdaws were perched in 'their tree', all in close pairs, other pairs flew and called above the river. Monday was fine, cloudy and windy. From Black Rocks I could see a Peregrine perched on the side of their nest hole, but there were no others to be seen at the Peregrine Watch. A Buzzard flew over, this looked like an old bird, at any rate it had a lot of damage to its tail feathers, which gave this impression.
