| Post subject: | autumn is here |
the bubbling of a Curlew had me searching the heavens this morning over the Humber to see a skein of 9 birds heading west high over the estuary the first of the autumn returnees! Also this am very nice to see a brood of 6 or 7 juvenile Bearded Tits at an unknown site on the Barton pits, a pair of Turtle Doves and lots and lots of juvenile Sedge Warblers just fledging -- a Grasshopper Warbler has a nest right next to a busy footpath and flushes into the adjacent hedge whenever anyone passes but it is still there -- Lesser Black-backed and Herring Gulls also gathering in numbers but up to today just 3 broods of Pochard with 1.1. and 2 ducklings an abysmal season for this species; 2 Quail calling on the Wolds on Tuesday evening |
