Monday 27th October

The grassland beside Sea Walls attracted a large group of Crows, Rooks and a few young Herring Gulls, a Raven landed briefly on the Black Rock cliff, then glided off around towards the river. On the mud I could see one or two Redshank. All was quiet at the Peregrine Watch initially, then a large group of Jackdaws arose from under the cliff, wheeled around over the river, and as if someone had said 'right folks, off to the grass', flew over towards Clifton Down. I though that was it, but no, several views of the Ravens, then a grey Peregrine flew from Leigh Woods to land under the cliff, moments later a pair of Kestrels left Leigh Woods near the quarries, and I watched (the female?), glide across to Walcombe Slade. Just before I left for home and breakfast a Sparrowhawk flew from Leigh Woods and disappeared into the trees on the left beside Circular Road.
