Peregrine
Is it really November? It felt like it on the cliffs today - very grey with occasional brighter intervals, moderate blow and occasional drizzle. Indeed a very grey day!
As I arrived on the reserve, my attention was drawn to these three Roe Deer, leisurely wandering through grassland
Bird wise, the reserve was quiet! The last Guga near Jubilee Corner has now fledged leaving the cliffs in their naked glory, albeit dull grey! At least a fly by one of the Peregrines gave a moment of excitement
Below Bartlett Nab viewpoint were four Red Throated Divers and a single Guillemot. Three Rock Pipits briefly landed on the cliff. Gannets could be seen on the sea and in flight but less in number than recent weeks. Herring Gulls, Great Black Backed Gulls and Shags also put in an appearance. The Dell and nature trail had good numbers of Blackbirds, Tree Sparrows, Finches and Redwings. One male Bullfinch and one Goldcrest briefly passed through the Dell.
What else was seen? Todays Sightings:
Now that the cliff top vegetation is reducing, the "Guardian of the Cliffs" is back in view. I have decided to name him/her "Bempton"! Will you find him?
