There was quite a movement of
Siskins over the garden this morning, with around 30 heading east. Later, the
Peregrines were back overhead together, slowly cruising their home range; I'm curious where they're breeding. A
Cormorant, a
Rook and five
Jackdaws flew east, and either the
Blackcap was back or another briefly burst into song. On a roof opposite, a
Stock Dove was unusual, and the female
Sparrowhawk passed by a couple of times.

We cycled to Ferring Rife, where four
Red-breasted Mergansers and a
Great Crested Grebe were identified in a scope-less look offshore. There was little along the rife itself aside from five
Moorhens, a
Chiffchaff and a
Linnet, though my first Peacock butterflies of the year were a treat.
