Peregrines and no Iceland Gull

In light of the Iceland Gull spot at Clarach yesterday, I thought I'd have
a look for it today (Saturday 17th.) Of course, it had long gone but the trip wasn't
fruitless as I managed great views of an adult and immature Peregrine
sitting on the cliffs just below the Consti summit and a male Sparrowhawk
also shot past. Plenty of Raven, Shag, Shonechats, Buzzards and Red Kites
about. On the way back, I caught the immature Peregrine further round on
the Aber side of the cliffs, tearing into an unrecognisable victim.
