I stopped the car near La Tache today to view a small flock of meadow pipits in a ploughed field near La Tache and while I was scanning to locate them I came across my first wheatear of the return migration; she was posing in that proud posture which is so distinctive of the species.
Later, while working at La Poterie, I heard a woodlark singing close by. Chiffchaffs, robins and black redstarts were flitting among the trees in the garden. No sign of any swallows today despite the fine, warm autumn weather.
