Two seasons clash again

2nd October 15         morning              mid section

foggy start but sunny later,  6-13°c,  1028mb,  NW 3-NE 7 mph

Two singing chiffchaff a reminder of summer and autumn and two little grebe very much winter visitors. The chiffchaff, one at either end of the mid section, the grebe, first one near Meccano Br and later two together near Meadow View Br ( can't be sure whether  2 or 3 birds involved ? )  Three buzzards together over the valley suggests the local pair with a female immature. The kingfisher seen again by Dave and Jesseney ( of Wolves Wild fame ) in exactly the same area that I had it on tuesday and I later had it today.

I met our two readers this morning. Two lovely ladies who asked if I was Mr Russon ( after looking around for some posh bloke, I realized they were referring to me ) they reported seeing a treecreeper at the end of the Paddocks. Thanks Sue & Helen.
