We are moving into the last week in September and it's looking like this could be the first year in a while when I have failed to see either a hobby or a whinchat. But the weather seems to have stabilised after the recent wet and stormy spell and some migrants are in evidence so there's still some hope,
Two spotted flycatchers were feeding at the La Poterie pond yesterday and there were plenty of chiffchaffs around La Tache this morning. Lots of blackbirds are feeding on the hedgerow berrries and the occasional common redstart and whitethroat put in appearances. Today, though, there were no swallows to be seen which is remarkable as they have been so plentiful over the last few days.
