Peregrine
After three continuous Sundays of getting soaked in rather horrible heavy rain, today...……..
"The sun has got his hat on
hip-hip-hip-hooray
the sun has got his hat on
and he's coming out today
Now we'll all be happy
hip-hip-hip-hooray
the sun has got his hat on
and he's coming out today"
Sorry, but it had to be done! Blue sky all day and sunshine but a strengthening blow keeping it cool.
So, what did we see on this rather pleasant autumnal day?
Today's Sightings:
You may recall that I have been following what I think is the last Gannet Guga on the cliffs. This is an image taken last Sunday
And what a difference a week makes! This is the same Guga this morning! Not long now!
It is always a pleasure to see a Peregrine at the cliffs. This one cruised past Bartlett Nab.
The nature trail, dell and car park areas seemed rather quiet but did produce Chiffchaff
And two Stonechats frequented the lower part of the nature trail
With the sun shining, images of the cliffs were called for. Bird wise, unfortunately, they are now showing their naked glory!
It was great to see the brave lads and lasses (can I say that these days?) from the RNLI out on a training mission below the cliffs. Here, the RNLB Keep Fit Association is put through its paces. Great respect!
Remember "Keep 'em peeled"!
Also, if you see a Kestrel, check out the colour of its claws and the size of its 7th and 10th primary feathers!!!
