Just the one common sand and little ringed polver on the dam this evening – but pretty sure I had a peregrine – couldnt be 100% but a very stocky falcon and very agile in flight.

WeirWood was visited mid afternoon starting at the west end where a pair of Black-headed Gulls were staking out one of the nesting platforms and mating. Another pair arrived causing them some me concern.

Arrived at the West End at 3.00pm and could hear the Chiffallow singing the moment I stepped out of the car.
