Mon 20th July

George was on the phone earlier with some sightings over the past few days. On Friday, he had seen a young female Peregrine Falcon take off and fly away, on closer inspection by George, at where the bird had flown from, there was the remnants of a young Rook! On Saturday, he had heard a Whimbrel, so that must be the start of the Whimbrels moving through now. It has been quite noticeable of late, that the male Eiders have gone into moult.
