21st Sept - sunny spells, light breeze, 20C

A busy day so little time, but a nice surprise mid-afternoon -  I found a male Stonechat atop of a low bush in a field cross hedge - east of the village.  This was really nice to see as Chats in this area are very scarce even on migration, none to two a year is normal. This is the first record for this farm area, last autumn I found one in late September about two miles away.

This morning I noticed 13 swallows on the telegraph wires.  A heron was feeding again at the top pond.
