I move onto the Greenwich Peninsula. My first stop is the peninsular ecology Park.
http://www.urbanecology.org.uk/gpep.html
Apart from the activity of Goldfinches, Greenfinches, Great Tits and Blue Tits it is very quiet and the only other highlight is two Little Grebes.
Leaving the ecology Park I walk on up the east side of the peninsular, checking the usual gull roosts. There are only a few birds on the stone pier, but I am surprised to see a sleeping Oystercatcher roosting on the pier.
I move onto the gull roost by the 02 River Station, but this only seems to be populated by Black Headed Gulls, together with a few Herring Gulls and Lesser Black-backed Gulls. I keep a good lookout but no sign of a Peregrine around the Dome
