My legs complained bitterly yesterday after Monday's spinning efforts and were still aching this morning but after a quick swim I made myself get out on the road because it was such a lovely morning. Time for another Peregrine check along the North Cliffs, I rode to Hell's Mouth via Mount Whistle Road and Coombe - and managed a lot of standing-up-pedalling on the hills! There was some purple honesty flowering in the hedgerows down at Bell Lake, the first I've noticed this year, which is very early and a lovely sign of spring. Good results with the Pergrines too: the first pair were perched close together on their nesting cliff; I located just one bird at the second site and in the third cove I heard the birds calling (always a good sign) but couldn't find them. Pressing on through Portreath I was out for a good 2 hours and clocked up a pleasing 18 miles. I needed to conserve my energy a bit . . . . . . as I was contemplating an early visit to the gym in the morning.
Today's photo: a typical section of the North Cliffs and, believe it or not, there is a Peregrine in the picture!
