It shouldn’t be difficult to find something to write about
in September with migration theoretically in full swing but it has been a very
quiet couple of days.
Yesterday’s sunny weather induced the remaining Chiffchaffs
into song (including an exceptionally loud individual in the car park of the
Dales School) and a handful of Buzzards drifted over Ainderby including these
two interacting high over the village.
Dozens of Small Tortoiseshells were on the wing, along with Speckled
Woods and this Wall
and in the Magic Garden virtually every fence post held a Common
Darter.
Today there was a small movement of Skylarks over and I saw
my first Corn Bunting since the summer. Siskin numbers on the river had risen to
around 40 and a single Golden Plover flew low over the church.
