3rd Sept - rain spreading from the SW by mid morning, staying unsettled with showers through the day, 17C

This morning first thing I count 60 Swallows on the telegraph wires, plus a few flying around.  These seemed all present in the evening over the village again.

I went to a sale at Willoughby Waterleys, a Sparrowhawk flew overhead and a good number of Swallows were feeding over the fields there too.
