Ness Point, Lowestoft.

Wind from the west, good high tide. Bright.

PEREGRINE:  Picked up a bird coming in on the sea, followed it until profile and it was I first though a Peregrine. This bird flew higher and was joined by another bird of the same size and the two birds started to relate to each other. It became increasing apparent that they where not friendly and then into view came another bird which was obviously larger and I assume was a female bird. Hence the reason for the interaction. One of the male birds continued to give grief to the other until after 10 minuets it saw it off. Some view of interaction over the sea. How odd.
FULMER: Bird seen way out but clearly identifiable. As it turned in good light.
COMMON SCOTER: Two birds landed on the sea and one flew back north the way they came.
DIVER: Unidentified bird but very dark and not dipped as a red would be especially with the wind behind it.
GANNET: Bird way out.
CORMORANT:  All flying North inshore.
BRENT GEESE: All birds seen two flocks where pale bellied. One flock 9 birds.
