Culver wryneck

Weather has changed again and winds have swung west. Blustery and wet with sunny intervals. Got a message about a wryneck up on culver. Having not seen a wryneck for a couple of years I thought I'd have a look. Did manage to get a brief flight view of it as it crossed the footpath but that was about it.

Decided to move on to Brading NR and did the old sea wall to Laundry lane. A few sand martins of note passing through but it was hard work in the wind.

Later at the doctors I heard a peregrine. Looked up and one landed on the church. Luckily had my scope and camera. Peregrines and churches go well together, as do the ravens. Also saw it chasing some doves.
