4th September

We still have circa 30 Swallows around the village which spend much of the day feeding around the fields.  It seems this year they have been spending less time on the telegraph wires as they usually do and using the building in the fields for resting, why should this be?  There are 3 Yellow wagtails feeding actively around the cattle as they graze, often with Pied Wagtails, sometimes up to 15 of them.  A female Sparrowhawk regularly flies through the village and those with bird feeders are use to seeing the bird dash by.
