Peregrine on watch in the mist
1 of 2 Pied Wagtail.
- A foggy start to the morning not clearing until 0845 hrs leaving it misty with a low cloud base and a very light W>3 at 6 degrees.
- Even when the sky cleared enough to view there was nothing moving over the area at all. This happens each year for some reason at this site with moving birds over until the end of September and then it goes very quiet apart from bits and bats plus the Pinkies. This must be due to the altitude and colder air which birds are reluctant to rise up into.
- A matter of ground watching today plus resident birds with 3 Wheatear, 2 of which I believe to be Greenlands, plus a Peregrine sat out on distant rocks on the moor for over 1 hour, probably the same as me, wondering where all the birds were.
- A group of 4 Raven were up together along with 2 Kestrels whilst 2 Pied Wagtails were on the shoreline. An early finish with boredom setting in and no afternoon session.
