A rather large i.e. massive crop of a Peregrine on the new island from Tern Hide.
This bird went off on a hunt flushing best part of 100 Lapwings and a few duck but a heavy squall sent it back to ground quickly although, despite dire conditions( batten down the windows; big waves crashing into the east shore of Ibsley Water), it rose up and headed off maybe to find somewhere more sheltered. Pretty much nothing else bar 20+ Goosanders.
Earlier another 10 Goosanders were on or over Ivy Lake, where still 500 or so mixed wildfowl. Scanning the distance produced 6+ displaying Buzzards, a pair of Sparrowhawks doing the same and two pairs of Ravens.
Probably should have gone to Tidpit to try and catch up on Thayer's/Caspian but ended up with the thrushes at Janesmoor which mostly scattered away from the car so no photos. Lunch in the car at PW was followed by immediate views of two displaying Gos at 12:45 both adults, same size but not sure of gender. Just a couple more distant Buzzards but no Haws, hardly surprising given the eye-watering westerly.
