Playtime for Peregrine!

Another good quality day, even after the poor start to the day with low lying mist lifting from the suface of the water, and a bit cold out of the sun.

It was not until an hour or two after the air had cleared did things liven up, the Greenshank reappeared in front of the hide and strutted it's stuff for a while, as the Kingfisher hovered above, making numerous unsuccesful attempts at catching fish.The whole flock of Lapwing and Black headed gulls lifted as one as a peregrine suddenly appeared over the hide from the direction of the car park. Initially it flew right through then on reaching the trees on the far side, banked and returned for some sport, nothing was of the menu it tilted at anything in its path, crows Black headed gulls and coot. But missed it all.

Then of course there is the thought "where do all the fish bones and scales go" as they are not digestable well look at this.

and a quick shake and its gone leaving space for what seems to be an insatiable appitite.
