Weather,clear,windy southwest,chilly,river high,on the turn.

It was rather quite this morning,most of the birds were keeping low out of the wind, only the Reed Buntings and Meadow Pipits were noticeable flying about the marsh.However there was a trickle of Sand Martins flying through south and 2 Swallows were over the fields.While I was looking at 4 Pheasants in the far fields a Peregrine came over chassing a Wood Pigeon but both were lost behind a row of trees,I think the Pigeon got away.
