Silent Summer

Its all gone very quiet, plenty of birds but the air has gone cool and the birds are roving in loose groups, young birds and adults, you can taste the autumn in the air, that lovely excitement a season change brings. 
Summer to autumn always has, for me, a melancholic feel which adds to the enjoyment and expectation when out for a wander on the patch, I love it.
Anyway, a few pictures of what has been about, Warblers, among the summer visitors are always worth watching as they move through patches of open bushes and tall vegetation.


 



Residents that will be staying long after the summer visitors have left are always worth a look, even the odd butterfly..






Out on the Estuary, wader numbers are continuing to increase, the first Golden Plover have turned up, the first of hundreds that will winter on the Coquet Estuary.

  1. Some belters there, you must be pleased with that lot? My faves there are the bottom Blackcap, the Goosanders on the shore and the Med, great pics John.
