Glorious mild morning - more like mid-March temperatures than January. Consequently very little to report. Limited observations out to see produced a handful of Cormorants, Red-throated Divers plus 5 Shelduck south. Even the gulls are forsaking us at the moment with little activity behind the ships. The adult male Peregrine was around the cranes early on but we have still to establish where his preferred perch's are these days. The cranes on the dock extension are twice the size of those nearest us and although we can see him fly up to them we can't see him when he lands or even if he has a preferred spot with so many vantage points to choose from.
