Peregrine Falcon Snettisham 26 September

Peregrine Falcon Snettisham 26 September

A pleasant early morning surprise, as the bird flew over Ken Hill Marsh, crossed Beach road, and landed in a ploughed field - where it then sat for over an hour and a half. Later in the day 6 Buzzards and a Sparrowhawk circling Holme Marsh together were impressive, in a rather quiet weekend on land and sea. Seawatching at Holme still managed to produce incoming Pink Footed Geese,Gannets, Guillemots, Great Skuas, Divers and single Manx Shearwater on apparantly flat seas. Ironically while I spent the week-end in Norfolk, a Leaches Petrel showed well throughout much of the 25th at Stewartby Lake in Bedfordshire - a site where I have also managed to miss Storm Petrel and Red Rumped Swallow !!
