It won't be long

it won't be long before the Fieldfares return

Mild

So mild this September
August was cold

First of March

On this warm, sunny day, birds abound.
Among them were wagtails following horses as they grazed.

They are here

Fieldfares are here.
Definitely!

Though i have just seen one or two, not the groups of them that we normally see.


It is cold here today!

Strange bird

Saw a bird with undulating flight yesterday in Mill Lane. I think it was a migrant.
Cool day expected today!

First really chill night

We may get our first frost tonight. It is very cold, winter is beginning?
Not necessarily, the rest of the night temperatures this week will not be as cold as the 4 degrees forecast tonight.

The Plough is visible over the churchyard and my owls  were vocalising. This was  at seven o'clock this evening.
Very clear sky and quite nippy. I enjoyed being cold!

Skylarks

Jackdaws, Rooks and Skylarks; yes Skylarks, along Mill Lane!
