A bright start to the morning, light SW winds and cloud from mid morning. First Whinchats of the autumns – 2 along the fence near the light house with Colin, 2/3 Wheatears there also, 11 Willow Warbler, 2 Yellow Wagtail, 20 Sand martin.
At 1pm I was washing up back at home and heard the Gulls go apeshit, I threw off the washing up gloves when I heard the Peregrines chime in too, thats a sure sign of a large raptor here. Sure enough I flung the door open to see an Osprey getting a hard time over my head, It was trying to gain height so I ran in doors to get the camera and re-emerged to see it flying westward along the cliffs towards town.
