Autumn has arrived

On looking out of the kitchen window this morning I noticed that our silver birch tree was host to at least three Chiffchaffs. They were so intent on feeding before making off for warmer climes they seemed totally oblivious to my presence whilst taking a few pics.  

The early morning warm light created a real autumnal 'feel'.

These two Brents confirmed Autumn was here...the first I'd seen in the harbour .

Grey Plover in Whites Creek...one of several.

'Stumpy' the Greenshank in his usual spot

One of several reed Bunting which seemed to just 'drop in'

A rather pale Lesser Whitethroat. (A Whinchat was also nearby but I failed to obtain a photo)

Close up of a Lapwing feeding along the wall

...and a ringed individual.

On the Spit Wheatears were showing well...

Great birds and they will be a welcome return in March 2021..with the winter months behind us!

The weather is forecast to change soon so it was good to be out this morning
