Peregrines and Gloss on the Ibis

Dougal left us yesterday morning and after lunch I visited Warningcamp again, hoping for a better view of the Glossy Ibis. It was by the western fence and an Oystercatcher was feeding in the field. I then headed to Arundel WWT. In the car park a few people were looking up at the hill where a Peregrine Falcon was wheeling around. A birder told me there was another perched on a branch. At the feeders I saw the Great Spotted Woodpecker, a Nuthatch and  the Blackcap. I only saw one Mediterranean Gull. When I left the sun was out so I returned to Warningcamp and found the Glossy Ibis nearer the road. I managed to catch the colour of its green and bronze feathers.
