Gann and Airfield

Gann: High tide - Peregrine hunting with intent along the river flushed 30 Curlew and 40 BH Gull. 4 cormorants, 10 oystercatchers and a little grebe on pools.
Airfield: 5 Pied wagtails and a wheatear by the circular feeders. 6 plover-like waders put up by buzzard beyond Hooksees, followed them with optics but with wind-shake always too high and fast to get an ID. Pointed wings, white bellied, fast wing beats - continually climbing heading inland.
Mullock Bridge: Sparrowhawk upsetting the resident GS woodpecker.
