It, more or less, managed to stay dry today, just the occasional spot of rain. A light SW wind.

Peregrine Falcon 1

Peregrine Falcon, it had something dangling from its leg, possibly jesses.

Common Tern 1 - it wasn't around when I walked out, but on the way back I could see it resting on the sea wall by No.2 outflow. Then it began feeding on the outflow.

Common Tern

It was seen feeding here till early afternoon, but had disappeared towards high water. It was back feeding again at 15:00 and seen by Kevin at 17:30.

Janet checked in the morning

Greylag geese - they keep looking like wanting to breed here, but
the disturbance has always been too much.
