It rains heavily briefly during the outing, but overally the outing is not seriously affected. In fact during the heavy rain, we saw an adult (probably female) Peregrine Falcon harrassing a Greater Spotted Eagle. We get another Peregrine Falcon (immature, probably male) eating a small bird. 77 species overall, not bad despite very few small wader species were recorded.
