Sunday 6th - Autumn beginnings

Its been fairly mild for the past few weeks with a general westerly airflow and in the last 10 days some welcome rain, as the ground has been dry, but only a few leaves have started to fall as there has been no really cold nights yet.

This weekend did have a little autumnal bird movement at home, yesterday the first 15 Redwings seen with a Woodlark flying over. This morning first thing 2 Hawfinches flew over quickly and silently and a count of 132 Redwing between 8.30 and 10.30 with several Song Thrush also on the move. I was unable to get up to Blackdown this morning which I'm sure would have yielded a Ring Ouzel, so maybe tomorrow !
