31st Aug - cloud clearing to sunny periods 22C, light SW

The Tawny Owls remain vocal at night, starting after about 1030h and continuing through the early hours, it's great to hear them.

This morning at least 61Swallows were sitting on the telegraph wires about the village street, of course mostly juveniles, among them were two (maybe others) juvenile House Martins.

After 1630h, the Sparrowhawk circled slowly drifting low eastward over the village, seemingly  teasing the Swallows that buzzed it, but not hunting them.

On moving part on an old wood pile I disturbed a Toad, a nice big one, so I placed him back under some rotten logs in a new home, he'll be fine.
