On the wind...

On opening the blinds this morning a Northern Harrier is hovering just off our 4th floor balcony.


A bit later we watch a Peregrine Falcon landing 20 floors up on a balcony rail on the neighbouring block of flats. There are never less than a dozen Black or Turkey Vultures on the thermals overhead.
By late afternoon the wind is howling, with palm trees bent right over, loosening green coconuts onto the grass verges. Other evenings we have enjoyed watching basketball being played on the court just opposite, but no one will be out in this wind, so we head to the on-site gym for some gentle cycling, walking and rowing.
