About 20 Sand Martins present this afternoon when Stuart took the photo...
Earlier this evening an immature Glaucous Gull standing near the bathing Herrings and Lessers opposite Curlew Hide. - all the Gulls flew to roost at 1750
As the Sand Martin flock became tighter pre dark, a couple of Peregrines decided to try their luck. In August we sometimes have Hobbies chase the Hirundines, not sure that I have seen Peregrines try. Tonight's Peregrines failed and became noisy grappling with each other.
