Peregrine: A possible very high flying bird headed west, occasionally disappearing into the clouds.
Sparrowhawk: 5 birds were seen.

This was the second day that not one Cormorant was seen heading between the Lea Valley and the waters in SW London. They are normally a pain, as you think at first you have picked up something interesting, only to be dissapointed.
