A Fresh Start to Autumn

It was a cool start to the day of our our Meet on 30th September 2018 - Autumn weather at last. However it soon turned hot in the sun;  it was back to summer for a while. Fortunately the riverside plants and grasses had made a quick recovery from the long hot summer after rainfall the previous weekend. Nuthatches were calling loudly with robins singing and many other small birds actively foraging amongst the thickets surrounded by Rose hips, Spindle, Guelder Rose and Hawthorn berries. See the record for 25th September 2018 (click the above link).

There was plenty to do on our meet as the previous meet had been more than five weeks ago but a very good turnout of people made short work of it, with a passer-by lending a helping hand.
