There was a distinct Autumn nip in the air this morning but it was a pleasant temperature for a bike trip along the Son- Sonnette. Nuthatches and great spotted woodpeckers were common and tits were flocking. There were four species in one group with long-tailed and a single marsh alongside the blue and great. I couldn't find a coal tit or any crests but a solitary short-toed treecreeper was creeping up a tree. A cettis warbler was calling at Valence and I came across several chiffs and blackcaps. Several green woodpecker were calling and two black redstart turned up on the way back. White wagtails are appearing in the harvested fields. They will probably form sizeable flocks a little later in the year.
