29th January
Did Great Garden Birdwatch with totally unspectacular results. Only one blue tit and no chaffinches.

14th January 2011
I should have started writing a nature diary ages ago!
On a walk at Colvend Coast got superb view of peregrine falcon. Saw it from afar as I went behind a hill. Lucky to see what I though I was a buzzard sitting on the drystone wall just West of Port o' Warren. In the binoculars it was clearly a peregrine, cheek stripes clearly visible. Then it went up and flew right over me, slate grey male. Probably a young bird?
Also jackdaws doing acrobatics over the cliffs, great tit giving exhibition of alarm call and a couple of meadow pipits.
There has also been a song thrush in garden - have seen it two or three times.
