Wildlife in the garden - Indian summer?

[40057]

Felt like summer whilst gardening earlier today — but it’s definitely autumn. We still have some swallows around about but no youngsters in nests now. The first geese arrived about 10 days ago and I could hear them calling overhead this morning. And the rowan berries are ripe:

Had at least three very large flocks of geese over early this morning - heading SW towards Burton Ness on the Dee estuary.

Heard geese overhead in the garden this afternoon, whilst looking to see whether our last sun flower will flower or not this year. One other has only opened in the last few days, the latest I’ve known them.

Another large flock over at 07.20 this morning, heading in the same direction

Three Fieldfares arrived here on the edge of Sennybridge training area at the beginning of the week. The Rowan berries went a good month ago when the flock (12-20 depending on the year) of Mistle thrushes made teir annual visit. A short morning's work.

This little chap hit the window today



He was a gonna, and he certainly was 20 minutes later when a magpie appeared and carried him away !
