Sunday 4th August

The Autumnal feel was more evident with a coolish breeze and rain setting in , the birds are beginning to look as if the summer is at and end and that they are preparing to start their long southwards trek.
 The first good count of House Martins were about today with 62 plus ,but just 5 Swallow s.
In the hedges were 4 Spotted Flycatcher , 3 Whitethroat, 4 Chiffchaff and 2 Linnet. A Raven passed west and there were 3 Buzzards about .
Another Cormarant passed upriver and 5 Stock Dove fed on the ripening Maize.
 The best of the rest were 3 Greater Spotted Woodpecker, Green Woodpecker.
