62 Ringos were attempting to roost on the beach on the incoming tide but some idiotic dog walkers showed them some festive cheer by throwing balls for the dogs & that was the end of that. We used to have regular high tide Ringo roost in the past but due to public pressure it's a bit of a rare event these days. The highlight of 40 mins sea watching were 2 Gannets reasonably close going south & one of the local Peregrines also in festive spirit taking some poor soul offshore before i had a chance to identify it's victim. To be honest i hadn't even seen it's prey before it honed in on it - but then again Peregrines do have better eye sight than us & i doubt they celebrate christmas !
