Amongst the grass in a verge in the car park Daffodils and Grape Hyacinths are in full bloom. The tiny purple flowers of the Grape Hyacinths forming a pyramid of colour, while the Daffodils sand tall and proud above the rest in sunshine yellow.
Walking through the timeline four Robins argue about territory in a Sycamore, one wins and chases the other three away and comes back to land in his tree victorious. Down in the dell behind me I spot two Wrens hopping amongst the branches of a dead hedge tiny tails waggling in the air. In the caravan terrace water runs down the stone face from the runoff above, while Primrose line the edges of terrace.
The sea is a lot calmer then it has been all week. Four small rafts of Guillemots can be seen on the water just below the globe, the sound of them chattering to each other floats up on the faint breeze.
Approaching the glass observation point the cliffs are a hive of activity with Fulmars making their perfect circles in and out of the cliffs, while large flocks of Jackdaws occasionally burst out of the cliff face. Two Shags observe all the commotion on the water from the Guillemots from an out cropping at the bottom of the cliff face. Along the side of the path as I approach the observation point I spot some Scurvy Grass carpeting the floor below a Tamarisk, covered in tiny white flowers.
Further around I stop to watch the Fulmars fly past at near head hight. Suddenly a commotion brakes out over head with two Peregrines Falcons have an aerial dispute with one diving the other, they then fly off in opposite directions.
At the bottom of the gully a Roe Deer buck scratches his back end oblivious to my presence. Once he finally spots me, we have a sort of stand off neither of us daring to make the first move. After a while I start walking towards him to continue my planned walk. As I approach, he stares me down still not willing to back down. As I get nearer and can see round the corner of brash behind him, I spot the reason for his bravery a doe hides behind the bushes. At this they both star to move on though only a short distance before they both turn to stare me down again.
I head back up the side of the gully spotting several Stonechats along the way while a Raven calls out from the top of the top mile markers below me.
