I walked through "The Dumps" to get to and from the Peregrine Watch; an advantage of walking is that you see more - a wren, chaffinches, a Jay, Magpies (lots!), and one that was too quick to recognise, but it had a white(ish) chest. There were Redshank on the mud below the Peregrine Watch.
Sunday was not quite as cold as Friday, so I chanced a cycle ride, and was regretting it by the time I got to Ladies Mile for the first time. When there is mud, the Redshank are permanent fixtures at this time of year. Saturday night was very wet, so the annual fireworks display combined with parking and a funfair made the Downland behind the Water Tower into a ploughed field. Several hundred Gulls were spread out onto two large areas behind this mud.
Geraldine Taylor's new book The Bristol Downs, a natural history year has been published. Yours truly has a short section and a link to this Blog from it! Buy!
