18th September

Ten Swallows on the wires this morning, then flying around the fields, joined later by at least five House Martins.

During the morning butterflies were again active in the warm sun, a Small Tortoiseshell and Red Admiral were on Buddlia, Speckled Woods were on the hedges.  Others were about but to quick for me to ID.  

A Raven was high just to the west, being harried by a Jackdaw, which was no aerial match for it.  Jackdaws were trying to be acrobats after flying insects, as were a dozen Starlings.

A single Spotted Flycatcher remained making sorties from the bush, nearby two Blackcaps, Chiffchaffs, Bullfinch, Long-tailed tits, Goldcrest  worked the hedgerow.  Nuthatch, Coal Tit and the usual Tits and Sparows visited the feed station.  

A single Skylark fly over westward, and a Siskin flew over Northward.
